Notes
Disney's Note: For a thinner, crispier cookie, preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 7 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake for 3 additional minutes.
Brandy's Notes: I used salted butter and lightly salted pistachios. I used a 5-ounce bag of dried cherries, slightly less than what the recipe calls for, but I didn't think that it was worth buying two bags. I found that the cookies tasted best after sitting for an hour or so. It gave them a chance to cool, set up, and let the flavors meld with the sea salt.
Wrap cookies individually in plastic to keep them fresh or store them in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Cookies can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds to soften and warm on day 2.
