On Flower Blog, we're running a Holiday Cookie Recipe Exchange. I've asked TF employees to search through their files and cookbooks, and come up with their favorite offering. Today's comes from Jenny Kayano, who works in Sales/Marketing.
Pistachio Cranberry Cookies
Shortbread
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp powdered sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup ground pistachio (use 2 tbsp of the powdered sugar and ground with a food processor)
1/4 cup chopped cranberries
Zest of one orange
Pinch of salt
Optional Chocolate Ganache
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (micro or over double broiler)
Cream together butter and powdered sugar. Add salt, flour and pistachio flour and mix until crumbly. Add chopped cranberries & zest of orange.
Bake at 300 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. I used a tart pan for mine since it spreads so much. You can also add the chocolate ganache to sweeten the deal!
