- Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped cranberries and 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan, pressing down firmly, and lightly score the top into squares.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are light golden brown.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
