This vegan, gluten-free cranberry & pistachio shortbread with almond icing is buttery, crisp, crunchy, sweet, dip-able, festive, and super simple to make.<\/p>\n

These Cranberry + Pistachio Shortbread Bars have got it all going on, which makes them perfect for holiday baking. This shortbread comes together with just 9 ingredients and a breezy 30+ minutes. It's basically a fancy, dressed-up variation of the shortbread in these homemade twix bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chopped dried cranberries add a chewy texture and the pistachios offer an addictive, nutty crunch. A subtly sweet almond icing is made by melting together coconut butter and almond extract, and a quick drizzle atop the bars offers some eye appeal and yet another layer of flavor.<\/p>\n

These shortbread bars are sweet enough to satisfy a dessert craving, yet balanced enough to make a strong argument for their inclusion in your breakfast routine. As a matter of fact, they're absolutely awesome dipped in coffee or tea. So, go on: dip 'em, dunk 'em, and do it proudly.<\/p>\n

Cranberry & Pistachio Shortbread with Almond Icing<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Chopped dried cranberries add a chewy texture and the pistachios offer an addictive, nutty crunch to this simple shortbread. A subtly sweet almond icing is made by melting together coconut butter and almond extract, and a quick drizzle atop the bars offers some eye appeal and yet another layer of flavor. These shortbread bars are sweet enough to satisfy a dessert craving, yet balanced enough to make a strong argument for their inclusion in your breakfast routine. I love to dip them in hot coffee or tea!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
