Cranberry Pistachio Eggless Cookies



You dont need to wait for christmas for cookies, right?!!!

 Love baking but don't like to clean up messy kitchen. :(

These cranberry pistachio cookies were made several time during year and on christmas but didn't get chance to post recipe. My so many friends are always asking for eggless recipe. not a big deal to replace eggs with substitute but you have to do trial and error (in my case lol) until it becomes perfect. 

I love pistachio because whenever you make any cookies, cake or sweets pistachio change them dramatically delicious by its garnishing and flavor . 

I never tried fresh cranberry but will soon. I used dried one and works awesome.
