CRANBERRY ORANGE PISTACHIO SHORTBREAD COOKIES

One Christmas Colt’s boss had given us a box of cookies from a local bakery called the Breadfarm, and it contained a delicious assortment of cookies including Orange Cranberry Shortbread Cookies.

So once we ran out of cookies I had to recreate them with the addition of pistachio’s.

Orange Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread Cookies have the perfect balance of butter, orange zest, cranberries, and pistachios.
