these almond flour cookies are littered with fresh cherries and topped with a pistachio cherry crumble.

Time for a new grown-up cookie! One that is not too sweet, not too tart, and perfect to accompany your morning coffee whether it’s black or milky. These cookies are made with almond flour, and then packed with chopped fresh cherries and topped with slightly roasted bits of pistachios that are mixed with even more cherries. They are soft and a bit crumbly (surprise), and I call them a “grown-up cookie,” like my lemon tahini sesame seed cookies, because they are not super sweet and the flavour is probablyyyy not super-appealing to kids but they do look pretty and they do taste good! So there’s that.

These cookies are made with almond flour, sweetened lightly with honey and flavoured lightly as well with vanilla. The pistachios do take over a lot of the flavour, but in the best way possible. As with many of my recipes, these are quite easy to throw together, even with the preparation of the crumble on top. I’ve been storing a bunch of them in freezer and can confirm you can eat these cookies cold out of the freezer on a hot day!

I don’t have much else to say honestly, I do have a little list of new recipes I’d like to test and create for my site so hopefully you’ll be seeing a lot more of me (or you’ll be seeing me a lot more consistently) over the next few months as I also soak up my maternity leave with my now-three month old :O Don’t even get me started. She’s about to be four months, I think I’m gunna go cry BRB.

finally, fold in your cherries and set aside while you prepare the crumble topping.

crumble

combine the chopped pistachios and chopped cherries with the honey in a small bowl.
prepare your cookies by taking a big spoon of batter and flattening it on a parchment paper-lined baking tray.
once your tray is filled with cookies, top each cookie with some of the crumble mixture and press it down into the top of the cookie.
bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 for 14-15 minutes until golden.
remove from heat and allow to cool before lifting them off the tray as they will be soft and this will allow them to firm up.
