Method

  • step 1

    Mix the butter, sugar and vanilla extract with a wooden spoon. stir in the flour, then tip in the pistachios and cranberries – you might need to get your hands in at this stage to bring the mix together as a dough. Halve the dough and shape each half into a log about 5cm across. Wrap in cling film, then chill for 1 hr or freeze for up to 3 months.

  • step 2

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. slice the logs into 1cm-thick rounds, place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment and bake for 12-15 mins. Cool completely on the tray.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE AHEAD

Well wrapped, these dough logs will happily freeze for up to 3 months, meaning you can include freshly made biscuits in your Christmas hampers without any last-minute effort. Simply defrost in the fridge overnight, then slice and cook as above.

I swapped white chocolate for the pistachios as I didn't have any and they were quite nice, but a but bland and the cranberries were chewy. I put them in the fridge as suggested but they ended up being so hard that when I cut them into slices they disintegrated so I ended up having to pull them…

question

I would like to put these in Christmas hampers - please can you tell me how long they will keep?

Hi, thanks for your question. The fresher the better, but they will keep for about a week as long as they are well wrapped or in airtight containers. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
