Receta Cranberry Pistachio Shortbreads
Cranberry Pistachio Shortbreads
If I had to pick two cookies that are perfect for the Christmas holiday, it would be wedding cookies and these cranberry pistachio shortbreads. Both use the same basic dough, so you can double the recipe and make both cookies.
I really like these cookies because they’re not overly sweet. However, I wouldn’t put these cookies in the health food category! I think referring to these cookies as buttery is a slight understatement. They do have two sticks of butter, but that’s a good thing, right?
I think you’ll enjoy these cookies as an addition to your spread of holiday treats.
