Almondina Pistachio and Dried Cherry Crisp Thins Ingredients

• Flour – all-purpose flour is what I use
• Pistachios, shells removed
• brown sugar
• Dried Cherries
• baking soda
• salt
• milk

How to make the Almondia thins, crispy.

1. Transfer to freezer and freeze at least 1 hour, but no more than 3 hours.
2. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Use sharp serrated knife to cut loaf into ⅛-inch thick slices. The semi frozen state of the loaf will help keep the cookie from crumbling while being sliced so thinly.
4. Arrange slices in single layer on a cookie sheet.
5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through baking. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
6. Store at room temperature in airtight container up to 1 week.

How big do I make mini Almondina crips?

There are two options when it comes to the size of your Almondina thins. Use a traditional 9×5 loaf pan to make long fruit and nut crips. Or if you like to make mini almondina fruit and nut thins, use 3 mini loaf pans.
