Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300℉.
- In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat together the butter and ⅓ cup of sugar until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and salt.
- Reduce speed to low and beat in the flour and masa harina until dough comes together and is crumbly, but holds a shape when pressed together.
- Stir in the pistachios and cranberries until they're evenly distributed.
- Scoop out a rounded tablespoon of dough and roll into a 1½-2" ball between your hands. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake until pale golden, about 22-25 minutes.
- Place confectioners sugar into a shallow bowl. Working with 2-3 cookies at a time, and while they're still warm, roll them in the sugar and set on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled to room temperature, Roll the tea cookies a second time in powdered sugar.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for 3-5 days at room temperature. If stacking the cookies, separate each layer with a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Notes
