Pre heat oven to 300F and prepare two baking trays with silicone mats or parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients - including cranberries and pistachios.

Add in butter and mix until smooth - texture should be creamy not crumbly, if it isn’t combining well, add a little extra melted butter to soften the dough until the texture is creamy.

Using a cookie scooper or tbsp, make 1 tbsp balls and flatten with bottom of a cup or with your hands. If the cup or your hands are sticking to the cookies, dampen a little with water.

Top with your favourite sprinkles, nuts, chocolate chips, crushed candy cane… Get creative or keep it simple.

Bake for 13-18 minutes, check them every minute or so. Remove from oven as soon as the bottoms start to turn golden and let them sit for a good 15 minutes until serving or eating as they will harden as they cool.
