There’s something timeless about shortbread—crisp, buttery, crumbly, and beautifully simple. But when the holidays roll around, I like to add a little sparkle. That’s where these Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread Cookies come in.
They keep the signature shortbread texture you love, but with tart cranberries, fragrant orange zest, and the nutty sweetness of pistachios. The result? A cookie that feels festive without being overly sweet—perfect for gifting, sharing, or savoring with tea on a chilly afternoon.
