Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios, divided
- 2/3 cup white baking chips
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 36 dried cranberries
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and orange peel. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in cranberries and 3/4 cup pistachios.
Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press a deep indentation in center of each with the end of a wooden spoon handle.
Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Meanwhile, place baking chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over baking chips; stir with a whisk until smooth. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate, covered, until thickened.
Spoon ganache into cookies; sprinkle with remaining pistachios. Top each with a cranberry. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 3 dozen.
