Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread Cookies - the Dancing Deer Bakery image

I have not tried this recipe but I love the cookies from the Dancing Deer Bakery. Published in the Boston Globe. This is not a traditional Scottish shortbread cookie dough, but a versatile, crunchy sweet cookie that can be flavored with a variety of natural oils and your favorite combination of mix -ins. The article did not state quantity of cookies the recipe yields.

Time 25m

Yield 24-48 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5/8 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
2 -4 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries (to taste)
2 -4 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt and stir together with a fork until blended. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar, and beat until just blended, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and beat until blended about 1 minute more.
  • Add the flour mixture, and on low-speed, beat until the mixture just begins to form a sticky dough, about 1 minute more. Turn out onto a floured surface, and gently pat together to form a dense ball of dough. Add cranberries and pistachios and knead gently until evenly combined, and shape into a flat round disk. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll cookies out to about 1/8 " thick, and cut to desired shape. Transfer to a heavy - duty cookie sheet and bake until just golden around the edges, 15-18 minutes.

I had some trouble getting the dough to come together. I ended up adding a little bit of water and that seemed to help.

These cookies are delicious, but they're a little too sweet for my taste. I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.
