Prep Time90 Minutes

Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
1 cup(s) (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
/4 cup(s) white chocolate melts
1 1/2 cup(s) Icing Sugar
3 cup(s) plain flour
1/2 cup(s) pistachios, roughly chopped
1 Large Egg
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 cup(s) dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Directions
- Cream together butter and icing sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well-combined. Sift flour and baking powder together in separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture, beating until dough forms.
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1/4 of dough at a time, place between 2 sheets of parchment. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out wreaths using large fluted round cutter for outside and a smaller circle, flower or starburst cutter for middle. Remove off-cuts; continue process until all dough is used.
- Transfer cookies to pans, using knife or spatula. Place 1 inch apart. If cookies are too soft to move, place in freezer until firm enough to transfer. Bake cookies until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. (Time will vary by oven. Monitor first pan to see how long they take.) Remove cookies from oven. Let cool completely on pans.
- Pour white chocolate into microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time until melted and smooth. One at a time, dip tops of cookies into chocolate. Place on wire rack. Before chocolate sets, sprinkle cookies with mixture of pistachios and cranberries.
