Cranberry Pistachio Cookies
For these ornamental cookies, I made a quick sprint of making a basic butter dough and included my favorite dried red cranberries along with chopped pistachios. Believe me, the red cranberries and green pistachios into that yellow buttery dough looked like gems into a gold ornament.

Every time I bake these cookies, I get mesmerized. I am still trying to figure out whether it is the color, the taste or the aroma that pulls me towards these cookies.
You will be surprised to know that you can freeze this cookie dough for up to 3 months.
