Directions:
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees Bake for 8-10 minutes

Put fresh cranberries and pistachios in food processor and roughly chop-set aside

In large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in 1 egg at a time, followed by baking powder, salt and orange zest. Mix until well combined

Add flour 1 cup at a time and blend well

Add cranberries and pistachios and mix until evenly dispersed and no streaks on plain dough appear

Chill dough for 30-60 minutes to make rolling easier

Divide dough in half or even thirds and roll into what I call a skinny snake and refrigerate for 24 hours

Remove from frig before baking and try to get rid of flat spots since you want these round like a silver dollar

Cut into 1/4 inch slices and place on parchment lined baking sheet

Personal Notes:
These do spread, so leave room between cookies. I will make them the size of a
50-cent piece when I make them again - THESE ARE VERY GOOD
