Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread Cookies
  1. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Add vanilla and mix again.

  2. Stir in flour and salt until just combined. The dough will look crumbly at first — that's normal!

  3. Fold in the chopped cranberries, pistachios, and orange zest if using. Work the dough gently until it holds together when pressed.

  4. Form the dough into a log about 5 cm thick. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until firm.

  5. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Slice the log into 1 cm rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are just lightly golden. Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

  7. Once cooled, optionally drizzle with white chocolate or dip one end in melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
