    Cranberry Pistachio and White Chocolate Shortbread

    Jump to recipe

    These shortbread are great to use for gifting or to have on hand to serve guests through the festive season. If you like a plain shortbread, just skip the add-ins and dust with some sugar prior to baking. This makes a huge quantity but the dough freezes well if you don’t want to cook the whole batch in one hit.

      Jo, I'm so sorry you were disappointed.
      You do need to make sure it’s formed into a tight roll and manipulate it a little so that it’s stuck well together before slicing… even after slicing sometimes have to gently reform into a whole round disk. This is due to lots of bits n pieces in the shortbread.
      It’s the butter holding the shortbread together and the choc pieces and cranberry stops it from sticking if they’re next to each other, if you see that happening prior to baking, just form it a little with your hands to make sure they’re firmly stuck.
