Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup light olive oil

  • 3/4 cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.

  • Mix the oil and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. Beat in the eggs.

  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly stir into the egg mixture. Add in the cranberries and nuts by hand.

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Split the dough in half and form two logs on the cookie sheet. Wet hands with cool water if the dough is sticky.

  • Bake until the logs are light brown, for about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven heat to 275°F.

  • Slice the logs on the diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Lay them on their sides on a parchment-covered cookie sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until dry. Let cool before serving.
