INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lightly grease baking sheet. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking
powder, and salt. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour
mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until well blended and stiff dough forms.
Add vanilla extract. Stir in pistachios and cranberries, being careful not
to overmix.
3. On greased baking sheet, divide dough in half; shape each half into a 12
by 2 inch log. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate logs at least 30
minutes.
4. Heat oven to 375'F. Remove plastic wrap from logs. Bake 20 to 25 minutes
or until edges start to brown. Cool logs on baking sheet 10 minutes.
5. Reduce oven temperature to 325'F. Transfer logs to cutting board and cut
crosswise diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. On same baking sheet,
place slices, cut sides down, in single layer.
6. Bake slices 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until light golden brown on
both sides. Cool completely on wire rack; store in airtight containers.
