2flax eggs(2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water)
1tspvanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F.
Using your hands, mix the flour, baking soda, butter, sugar, flax eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and pistachios. Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated into a soft dough. Add more water in small amounts if needed.
Add the cherries to your dough and mix with hands until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. It is tough and may take a while, but you will get there!
Divide the dough in half and form two logs approximately 13 inches long, 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Place logs on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 40 minutes and remove. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Once cool, slice into 1 inch thick strips.
Change oven temperature to 250F.
Place all the cut cookies back on the baking sheet on their sides. Bake for about 7 minutes on wither side, for a total of 14 minutes. If you want them harder and crunchier, bake them a couple extra minutes.
