Pistachio, cranberry, and white chocolate holiday shortbread cookies

The colors of these cookies just have christmas written all over them! I spent the afternoon baking them with my boys! We had such a great time and tomorrow I will be sharing them with some very lucky co workers. In fact it was on of these co workers who first drought them to my attention. I altered the recipe a tad and here's what came out! Man, I'm sure glad she did too! I will be holding on to this recipe!

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter

1/2 C sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 3/4 C flour

1 T cornstarch

Pinch of salt

1/2 C dried cranberries

1/2 C chopped pistachios

3/4 C white chocolate chips 

Cream Butter and sugar till soft and fluffy. add vanilla extract. Add the salt and begin adding flour a little at a time just so it incorporated till you've added it all in. Add your corn starch and Lastly add in the rest of your ingredients and mix well. 

Lay Saran Wrap out on counter and dump dough into it. Wrap and form about a 3 inch log. Refrigerate for about 90 minutes.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and slice with a sharp serrated knife place cookies about 2 inches apart and bake 13 minutes or until edges just barely begin to turn. Don't over bake! Remove from oven and place entire sheet of parchment on cooling rack to cool!

Enjoy!
