Don't try to make more than 1 batch at a time, or you will blow out the motor in your food processor like I did!

1 3/4 C. Flour
1 C. Sugar
1 tsp Baking Power
1/4 tsp Salt
2oz (1/2 stick) Butter (un-salted, cold, cut up)
2 Large Eggs (lightly beaten)
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 C. Dried Cranberries
1 1/2 C. Raw Pistachios

Pre-heat oven to 350
 
In Food Processor:
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder & salt.  Add butter and pulse until pea sized.  Pour eggs & vanilla over dry ingredients, add cranberries; pulse to blend.  Add pistachios and pulse until dough is evenly moistened.
 
Divide into 2, 12" logs, 2" wide.  Sprinkle with 1 tsp of sugar.
 
Bake until lightly golden, about 30 minutes, cool 5-10 minutes.
Cut 1/2" thick, space on try so that air can circulate around them and then bake 7-10 minutes more.
 
Cool and store in an airtight container.  Great with coffee, jam, or just plain!
