Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla.
If you haven’t already, chop the pistachios, and have them ready to go.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
Now add the chopped pistachios and dried cherries, and fold them into the batter.
Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the batter onto the baking sheets, leaving about an inch of space between them.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the center of the cookie springs back when pressed lightly.
Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
