Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1 cup powdered sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and salt, then pistachios and cherries. Stir in flours, do not overmix.
- Working with one baking sheet at a time, shape dough into tablespoon sized balls and place on prepared sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
- Bake until bottoms just begin to turn golden brown, 15-16 minutes. Let cool on sheet 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Meanwhile, place remaining powdered sugar in medium bowl. Working with 5 or 6 warm cookies at a time, gently coat in sugar. Transfer cookies to a piece of parchment paper to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookies.
