Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
3/4 cup powdered sugar 🍚
2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams) 🌾
1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
1 tablespoon orange zest 🍊
3/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped 🍒
3/4 cup unsalted pistachios, chopped 🥜
Instructions
1️⃣ In a large bowl, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. 🥄
2️⃣ With the mixer on low speed, mix in the flour, salt, and orange zest until just combined. The dough will be thick. 🍊
3️⃣ Stir in the chopped cranberries and pistachios. 🍒🥜
4️⃣ Place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on the counter. Take half of the dough, place it on the paper, and form it into a log shape about 1 to 1 1/2 inch (2-3 cm) in diameter. Roll up the log in the paper and twist the ends to pack it tightly. 📜
5️⃣ Repeat the process with the second half of the dough, so you end up with two logs. 📜📜
6️⃣ Place the logs in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or up to 3 days. Logs can be frozen for up to 2 months in a freezer container, then thaw overnight in the fridge before baking. ❄️
7️⃣ When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats. 🔥
8️⃣ Take one log out of the fridge at a time, unwrap it, and slice into cookies about 1/4 – 1/3 inch thick (about 0.5 cm). 🍪
9️⃣ Place cookies 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet and bake for 14-17 minutes, or until the tops look set and the edges start to turn golden brown. 🍪⏳
