How To Make cranberry, pistachio & white chocolate shortbread

  • Step 1

  • Step 5
    chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Step 6
    preheat the oven to 350F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Step 7
    slice the log into 1/4 inch slices. place the slices on the sheet pan. they don't spread much, so they can be pretty close together.
  • Step 8
    bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown.

    remove from the pan and cool to room temp. 4 points per cookie
