Calories: 135kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ Teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 Teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup dry cranberries
  • 1 ½ cup shelled unsalted pistachios

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the olive oil with the sugar in another bowl.
  • Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix.
  • Add the eggs and mix.
  • Reduce the speed and add the flour mix.
  • Once all the ingredients are well incorporated, slowly beat in the pistachios and the cranberries.
  • Divide the dough in half.
  • Since the dough will be sticky, rinse your hands with cold water to handle it.
  • Form each half of the dough into a lslab about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  • Place the slabs on the lined baking sheet, spacing the logs about 4 inches apart.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes or until the lslabs are lightly brown.
  • Let the slabs cool down for about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F.
  • Place the slabs on a cutting board, and cut them on the diagonal with a serrated knife into ¾-inch-slices.
  • Place the slices flat on the baking sheet and bake them for 8-9 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool.
