    Cranberry Pistachio Cookies with Craisins

    Date: August 14, 2021 by Christian Guzman • This post may contain affiliate links. See Privacy Policy below.

    Cranberry Pistachio Cookies are made easily with Craisins, the sweet, chewy jewels of awesome, for Christmas cookies and beyond.

    A Craisins recipe is always fun to find because Craisins are so wonderful. Sometimes you need to be able to use the cranberry goodness in a recipe so you can justify eating them by the handful.

    24Bite: Cranberry Pistachio Cookies with Craisins Recipe by Christian Guzman
    Jump to Recipe

    Soft and sweet, these deliciously decadent cookies are made with craisins and pistachios. Make them for friends and family and perfect for holiday cookie baking.

    I’m not the only one to eat Craisins by the handful. Have a look at the Ocean Spray Craisins website to see the reviews. People really love them! Replace all your raisins with Craisins.

    It’s a Craisins revolution!

    Craisins Recipe Making Process

    When you start making your Craisins recipe, get all your ingredients ready to be certain that you have everything.

    If you want, go ahead and eat some of your cranberries or pistachios right out of the bag. You should have purchased a bigger bag so you have some to snack, right?

    Dry Ingredients

    Start with the dry ingredients. Whisk them together because you don’t want a lot of salt or a lot of baking soda hanging out in one spot of your cookies. Mix them up and set them aside.

    • Flour
    • Salt
    • Baking Soda

    Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix your wet ingredients.

    • Softened Butter
    • Sugar
    • Brown Sugar
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Eggs

    Incorporate the dry ingredients, one cup at a time, into the wet ingredients. Mix well after each addition.

    If you dump everything in there at once, you may end up with flour all over you face, clothes and countertop. Ask me how I know.

    Extra Goodies

    Chop the pistachios into chumky bits. You don’t need pistachio powder.

    Here is where the fun begins. You can’t have a Craisins recipe without the Craisins, of course!

    It’s recommended that you hand stir your extras so you don’t break them up.

    • No Shell Pistachios

    You have more of a chance of breakage if you’re using delicate extras. If you decide to use the mixer, you’ll get no judgment from me!

    Uniform Cookie Size

    This recipe makes about 45 cookies using the 1 ½ inch cookie scoop. Do you have a cookie scoop?

    I highly recommend them. You get uniform cookie sizes and you can get finished so quickly!

    For best results, let the cookies cool on a wire rack.

    A two-inch cookie scoop will produce 24 cookies. The two-inch has become my favorite for cookie sizes these days.

    Cranberry Pistachio Cookies are made easily with Craisins, the sweet, chewy jewels of awesome, for Christmas cookies and beyond.

    For more information, be sure to check the recipe details in the attached 24Bite® post.

    Ingredients

    • 2 ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
    • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, two sticks, softened
    • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
    • 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    • 2 large Eggs
    • 1 cup Dried Cranberries, like Craisins
    • 1 cup Pistachios, chopped

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350℉.
    • Whisk together flour, salt and baking soda in medium bowl until well combined.
    • Beat butter, sugars and vanilla extract in large bowl until creamy.
    • Add eggs and mix well.
    • Gradually add flour mixture, about one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Stir in dried cranberries and chopped pistachios until well mixed throughout.
    • Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. We used a cookie scoop which makes it so much easier to get uniform cookies.
    • Place cookies in preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes.
    • Remove from oven and cool on wire rack until cool enough to remove from pan then allow to cool completely before storing. Makes 45 cookies.
