Coconut-Pistachio Guava Thumbprints
FROM SUBSTACK
I bought a jar of guava preserves last winter when I saw it at my supermarket in the Bonne Maman section. I was actively and constantly scouting the shelves of my store for cookie inspiration because I was elbow-deep in recipe development for my book. I instantly thought, “Hmm. I think this would be great with coconut.” But it stayed in the back of the pantry in our temporary house, and when we moved back home, it came with us, and I continued to overlook it.
I finally had a chance to try out this idea, and they are as good as I’d hoped they’d be! Even if you can’t find the guava preserves, any kind of jam or preserves will work here, or you can use a variety in your batch of cookies.
