Cranberry
Pistachio Shortbreads
“This cookie
could easily become a favorite.” Ann
Ingredients:
2 ⅓ cups (300
grams) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon
kosher salt
1 cup (2
sticks) (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
⅔ cup (135
grams) granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
1 cup (130 grams)
unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped
1 cup (150
grams) dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
Preparation:
Cranberry
Pistachio Shortbreads:
In a large
bowl whisk the flour with the salt.
In the bowl
of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter until smooth
(about 1 - 2
minutes).
Add the sugar
and beat until smooth and creamy (about 3 minutes).
Beat in the
vanilla extract.
Gently stir
in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
Fold in the
chopped pistachios and dried cranberries.
Make sure
that the nuts and cranberries are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the
dough in half.
Place each
half of dough on the center of a 14 inch (35 cm) length of parchment or wax
paper.
Smooth and
shape the dough into an evenly shaped rectangle that is about 10 inches (25 cm)
long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
Then
thoroughly wrap the shaped logs in the parchment or wax paper, twists the ends
of the
paper to seal the logs, and place in the refrigerator to chill for at
least two hours, or up to three
days.
The logs can
also be frozen for about two months.
If freezing, it is best to defrost the logs in
the refrigerator overnight before slicing and baking.
Preheat oven
to 325°F (160°C) with the rack in the center of the
oven.
Line two
baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a thin
bladed knife, slice the logs into ¼ to ½ inch (.5 to 1 cm) thick cookies.
Place the
cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
Bake for
about 15 - 20 minutes, or until the cookies are just beginning to brown around
the
edges.
Remove from
oven and cool on a wire rack.
Makes about
48 shortbread cookies.
