- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 1/2 cup pistachio nuts
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup light olive oil and 3/4 cup white sugar until well blended.
-
Step 3.
Mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, then beat in 2 eggs one at a time until smooth.
-
Step 4.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
-
Step 5.
Stir in 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 1 1/2 cups pistachio nuts by hand until evenly distributed.
-
Step 6.
Divide the dough in half. On the prepared cookie sheet, shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. If the dough is sticky, wet your hands with cool water to make handling easier.
-
Step 7.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until they are light brown and firm to the touch.
-
Step 8.
Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees F.
-
Step 9.
Using a serrated knife, cut the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices.
-
Step 10.
Lay the slices on their sides on the parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until dry and lightly toasted. Let cool completely on the cookie sheet before serving.
