Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

½ cup powdered sugar

2 egg yolks

2 cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup cornflour (cornstarch)

½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

½ cup dried cranberries (chopped)

½ cup pistachios (chopped)

Instructions:

In a large bowl, cream softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add egg yolks and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Sift in all-purpose flour, cornflour, and salt. Stir to form a smooth dough.

Fold in chopped cranberries and pistachios.

Roll dough into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30–40 minutes until firm.

Slice into ½-inch thick rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 15–18 minutes or until edges turn light golden.

Cool completely on a rack before serving or storing.

Tip:
For richer flavor, lightly toast the pistachios before adding them.
