my favourite christmas recipe

These are heaven. Above are the ones I made last night.

Cranberry & Pistachio Shortbread

250gms softened butter

1/2 cup caster sugar

2 cups plain flour

1/4 cup rice flour

1/3 cup pistachio kernals, chopped

1/3 cup craisins, chopped

Preheat oven to 160 C

Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy

Sift flours and add to the creamed mixture

Mix well, stir in the pistachios and craisins

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to form a ball

Cut dough in half and roll into smooth log shape

Wrap in baking paper and place in the fridge for 30 minutes

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1/2 cms slices

Place onto a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden

Cool on trays
