Ingredients
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup light olive oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 large eggs
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups pistachio nuts
½ cup dried cranberries
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Mix sugar and oil together in a large bowl until well blended. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts, then beat in eggs. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually stir into egg mixture until combined. Fold in pistachios and cranberries by hand.
Step 3
Divide dough in half. Form each piece into a 12x2-inch log on the prepared cookie sheet. Dough may be sticky; wet hands with cool water to handle dough more easily.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until logs are light brown, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
Step 6
Cut logs on the diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Lay cookies cut-side down on the cookie sheet.
Step 7
Bake cookies until dry, 8 to 10 minutes.
