According to Siba, you will not be able to stop at one when eating these pistachio and cranberry cookies. And she is right. You can double the batch and freeze half of the dough if you want to.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Pistachio And Cranberry Cookies ♥
In April last year, while we were in hard lockdown, I developed a sore throat. My gut reaction was that it was the usual change of season post nasal drip I always get. But my mind did go towards was it Covid? I am sure many of us have had this experience at least once in the past year. I had another change of season bout when we transitioned into summer. I decided that if we were to go away I would get a pulse oximeter, as this would be the most reliable way of seeing if we were sick while in a foreign country. But as our holiday was cancelled I just left that on my shopping list. They were also extremely expensive in November last year. And when I thought I needed one in December, they were all sold out.

I have however kept my eyes open for one and while browsing around an independent pharmacy I saw a pile of them. The shelf was full and half the price of last year. It clearly shows that they were making a lot of money off fear. And now were sitting with excess stock as our infection rate is so low. As we are going to be away from home I decided now was the time to buy one. I got it home and tested it, and it did not work. This is so frustrating as it means driving back to the shopping centre. Which is not close to home. And insisting on a refund rather than a replacement. I will still purchase a pulse oximeter as it offers peace of mind. Especially now while I have that awful post nasal drip. Do you have a pulse oximeter?

this sounds like a post I could have written. There were a couple of times this past year when I felt a little under the weater, ad my first thought was about COVID. I also thought about buying a pulse oximeter, but they seemed so expensive, so at this point I still have not bought one. Maybe I’ll wait until you do, so you can tell me which one to get 🙂
and those cookies look so good…
I think if you have been vaccinated there is no need. But I will share what I bought on a post soon 🙂
I will have to make these cookies for my son. He absolutely loves both pistachio’s and cranberries! Besides, both are good for you in their own right!
This can be considered a healthy snack then 😉
These cookies sound delicious, two of my favourite ingedients for cookies are pistachios and cranberries. I found you blog after searching on google for International Scone Week, just wondered if it’s the same week each year?
Hi, it will be on the week starting on the 9th of August this year. And your photos are amazing!
Thank you, it’s kind of you to take the time for a look and to say so.
Those cookies do indeed sound like a second one would need to be enjoyed after the first.
That is the best way to describe them 🙂
