Cookies with pears, pistachios, and ginger
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. The cookies are truly delicious! The recipe uses candied ginger, not fresh, while pears can be either fresh, as in my case, or dried. You may add spices to the dough to taste: ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg. You can also roll out the dough and cut it with cookie cutters instead of baking it as a single slab. Serve with tea or coffee.
