Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Tsp Almond Extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 3/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1 Cup Pistachio Nuts

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oil and sugar until well blended. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts, then beat in the eggs.
  • In another bowl, combine the all purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Mix well.
  • Fold in cranberries and pistachio nuts by hand.
  • On a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper form a log approximately 12 x 2 inches. The dough may be sticky; so wet your hands with cool water to handle dough more easily.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until the log is light brown. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven heat to 275°F. Cut the log into 3/4 inch thick slices on a diagonal angle.
  • Lay the slices in rows on the parchment covered cookie sheets and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until dry.
