Servings: 4 dozen cookies
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 400 g all-purpose flour (3 1/4 cups)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 100 g unsalted butter (7 Tbs)
  • 240 g dark brown sugar (1 cup + 2 Tbs)
  • 70 g water (1/4 cup + 1 Tbs)
  • 150 g whole almonds (1 cup)
  • 90 g pistachios (2/3 cup)
  • 100 g dried sour cherries (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  • Line a loaf pan with baking parchment.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter, brown sugar, and water. Heat, stirring often, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  • Add liquid mixture and almonds, pistachios, and cherries to the flour mixture and stir until all flour is moistened.
  • Scrape into prepared loaf pan and press dough down firmly. Fold, or place another piece of, parchment over the top.
  • Freeze loaf for several hours, until firm but pliable. (If desired, transfer dough to the refrigerator the evening prior to baking).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Slice loaf very thin, about 1/8 of an inch, and place slices on baking sheet, leaving an inch of space between each wafer. Bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on baking pans.
