These Crunchy Cranberry Pistachio Cookies are rich and buttery with a crumbly, crunchy texture and flecks of dried cranberries and pistachios throughout. They’re so irresistible that it’s almost impossible to eat just one.
Servings: cookies
Ingredients
- 14 tbsp (200 gr) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150 gr) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (260 gr) cake flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (100 gr) roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup (100 gr) dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Toppings
- Dried cranberries
- Raw pistachios, finely chopped
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add egg and vanilla. Beat the mixture until well combined.
- Sift in cake flour and baking powder. Beat on low speed just until combined. Don't overmix.
- Add chopped roasted pistachios and dried cranberries. Mix with a spatula until well combined.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes to let the dough firm up.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300℉/150℃. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mat.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Arrange the balls onto the prepared pan, leaving about 2 1/2 inch/6.5 cm of space between the cookies.
- Flatten the dough ball with a fork. Make sure the flattened dough still has at least 1 inch/2.5 cm of space between because the cookies will spread during baking. Top the cookies with dried cranberries and chopped pistachios.
- Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Transfer the cookies immediately onto a cooling rack and cool them completely before transferring them into an airtight container.
