Cranberry, Coconut, Pistachio Cookies image

Love this cookie...hope you do too! Not too sweet, and on the lines of a shortbread cookie. Love the tartness of the cranberries and crunch of the nuts. Chocolate chips could be added as well. My photos

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c unsalted butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tsp each - vanilla, orange extract
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c coconut
1/2 c roughly chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a bowl, sift the flour, soda and salt together. Set aside.
  • 2. In a mixer bowl cream the butter with the sugars, Until nice and fluffy.
  • 3. Add the egg and extracts.
  • 4. Now, beat in the cream cheese, thoroughly blending. Mix in the dry ingredients. I then mix in the coconut.
  • 5. By hand stir in the nuts, cranberries and coconut.
  • 6. On an ungreased cookie sheet; you can either drop the cookies by a rounded tablespoonful. Or I rolled mine into a bit smaller than a golf ball size. I wanted mine to stay round and not spread out. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. ( I take mine out when they look a little doughy in the center.) They will not get brown. Keep a watch on them. Mine were done between 13 - 15 minutes. Leave set on sheets for a few minutes, before removing to rack to finish cooling.
  • 7. I made an orange glaze out of butter,milk, orange extract and confectioners' sugar . I also sprinkled some with sugar as I took them from the oven. Enjoy!
