Cranberry Lime Pistachio Shortbread Cookies image

I got this recipe at a Vegan baking class recently. (I've made a few modifications, so it's not exactly the same.) These cookies are melt-in-your mouth sweet and salty and crunchy--I love them! **Update: I've recently discovered that these are also stellar if you substitute chopped dried mango for the cranberry.**

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They said they were the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
