Cranberry Lime Pistachio Shortbread Cookies image

I got this recipe at a Vegan baking class recently. (I've made a few modifications, so it's not exactly the same.) These cookies are melt-in-your mouth sweet and salty and crunchy--I love them! **Update: I've recently discovered that these are also stellar if you substitute chopped dried mango for the cranberry.**

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavor combination was great though.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was great. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste, but my friends seemed to enjoy them. I think next time I'll use less lime juice.
