Chocolate, pistachios and cranberries make a dramatic, delicious trio. Introducing the cranberries to this recipe added tartness, texture and color, too. —Gilda Lester, Millsboro, Delaware

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup pistachios
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture and mix well (dough will be sticky). Stir in chocolate chips, pistachios and cranberries.
Divide dough into 4 portions. On ungreased baking sheets, shape portions into 10x2-1/2-in. rectangles. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake 20-25 minutes or until set. Carefully remove to wire racks; cool 5 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board; cut each rectangle into 10 slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 5-8 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
