With only 10 minutes of prep required, these festive, sweet-salty pistachio and cranberry icebox cookies will be the hit of your holiday party.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1/4 cup finely chopped dried cranberries
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Stir flour with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Add 1/4 cup each finely chopped pistachios and dried cranberries to flour mixture.
- Beat butter with sugar in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high, until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture, just until combined. Gather into a ball. Divide dough in half, then roll each portion into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap logs in wax paper and twist ends. Chill until firm, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Slice cookies into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange 1 inch apart on prepared sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching halfway through, until cookies are golden, 10 to 12 min. Let cookies cool on sheets for 1 min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. Pistachio cranberry icebox cookies will keep well, stored in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 5 days.
