I have always loved shortbread. It’s so crisp and buttery and crumbly and simple. I love it in its basic form, truly, but sometimes I’m in the mood for something a little more festive and that’s when these Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread Cookies come into play.
They still have that lovely crisp-crumbly texture, but they’re studded with tart cranberries, bright orange zest, and sweet and nutty pistachios. In other words, they’re delicious, and a nice break from the barrage of overly-sweet holiday cookies that generally come your way.
