1/2 cup pistachios, lightly chopped
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 (11-ounce) bag white chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Open sugar cookie log and press into a rectangle on cutting board. Add pistachios and cherries, press into dough and then re-shape into a log. Slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Transfer cookies to a baking sheet.

Bake 7 to 11 minutes, until golden around the edges. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

While cookies are baking, melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler or bowl over simmering water.

When cookies are cool, dip bottom half of cookies into melted white chocolate and place on waxed or parchment paper to cool.

Waste of time
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Don't waste your time and money on these cookies! They were impossible to slice even though I left them in the refrigerator... overnight after adding the nuts and cherries. I decided to bake them as drop cookies, but they flattened out too much. They were difficult to dip in the chocolate since they were so flat and fragile. Rather than using the prepared sugar cookie dough, you might try using your favorite chocolate chip recipe and substitute the pistachios and cherries for the choc. chips and regular nuts. Read more

Crowd Pleaser!!!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I decided to make these around the holidays as they looked festive and seemed easy to make. I made a bunch of different... cookies and EVERYBODY loved these!!! They were the first to go. I drizzled the white chocolate on top of each cookie and that provided just enough sweetness. I have made these a few times now and they are a quick, easy, and delicious treat. Nobody has to know how easy they are to make. Thanks Robin.Read more
