1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries, soaked in hot water and drained
1 cup pistachios, shelled

Steps:

Cream butter and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one a time, and blend until smooth.
Add vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt.
Mix until just blended (do not overbeat).
Stir in cranberries and pistachios by hand.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Divide dough in half.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough a few times then shape into two long, slightly flattened, logs, about 2 inches wide and 12–14 inches long.
Place both on a non-stick baking sheet a few inches apart.
Bake for 25 minutes or until barely golden.
Let cool for 10 minutes.
Slice logs on the diagonal about 1/2-inch thick.
Place slices on baking sheet and bake again for 20 minutes, turning halfway through baking, until golden brown.
Let cool.
Makes about 3 dozen.
Will keep for several weeks in an airtight container.
