These Cranberry Raisin Pistachio Cookies are chewy, crispy, sweet, buttery bites wrapped up in a pretty fall-hued package! They’re tasty to eat and lovely to look at!

Fall is by far my favorite season and I’m a little obsessed with the serious fall vibes these cookies give off! The faint but vibrant colors of the golden raisins, purple-green pistachios, and crimson colored cranberries will practically make you hear the sounds of leaves rustling in the trees.

These Cranberry Raisin Pistachio Cookies are also extremely texture rich! You’ll love the way they bake up a delicious crispy, buttery edge! The pistachios add even more crunch. You’ll also get chewiness from the brown sugar, raisins, and cranberries.

You can see how pretty the pistachios look, but you can absolutely swap them out for almonds, cashews, walnuts, or pecans if you like!

Due to their sweet taste and looks, I’ll be making these cookies through the fall season and all the way into the holidays! You might be adding them to your cookie roster as well when you see how easy they are to make! It’s a straight forward recipe that makes an extra special cookie!
