ABOUT Nuts and Cranberry cookies RECIPE

My love for cookies is no less than my love for nuts. So thought of incorporating my two favorite things in one-cookies with my favorite nuts, almonds, walnuts & pistachios. Cranberries give these sweet nutty cookies a sour taste, which just balances all the flavors very well.

  9. Keep this dough in a fridge for half an hour. Chill the dough.
  10. After half an hour remove the cookie dough and spread some flour on the work surface as well as on the dough. With a rolling pin, roll the dough gently. Roll the dough to a thickness of 0.50 to 0.75 cms.
  11. Cut the cookies in your desired shapes. You can use cookie cutter also.
  12. Then place the cookies in a baking tray and keep this tray in fridge for half an hour. This step will make your cookies more crispier.
