Tomorrow is the choir Christmas concert. Afterwards, we will have a party. I signed up to bring cookies. I am trying a recipe I saw on a blog. I thought it would be pretty easy. The red of the cranberry and the green of the pistachios would be festive holiday colors. I did taste one, and it is quite good, but the hoped-for colors not really as I would like. If I were to make them again, I would up the amount of dried cranberries to at least 3/4 cup for more color and flavor.
