Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg, separated

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup pistachio nuts, roughly chopped

1 8-ounce container candied red cherries, roughly chopped

1/3 cup coarse or sanding sugar

if fresh cherries are sweet and ready in your area try them pitted of course.

Directions

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Beat in egg yolk; mix well. Add flour and pistachios; blend on low speed until just combined. Remove dough from mixer and, with a strong spoon or your hands, mix in cherries. Divide dough in half and roll each piece into a log about 12 inches long; wrap in plastic and chill overnight. but i found 30 min rest time just fine.

Adjust the oven rack to the center shelf and preheat to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or grease lightly); set aside. Pour coarse sugar onto a piece of waxed paper or aluminum foil. Lightly brush egg white over the surface of the log; press and roll log into sugar; transfer to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice log in 1/2-inch slices; transfer to cookie sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely and store in an airtight container or freeze.
