Oh my goodness! I've been looking for this recipe for years. My mother used to make them often, and I've lost her recipe. Thank you so much! She always called them "Michigan rocks." Full recipe👇 💬

Preparing the Dough:
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, start by mixing the butter and sugar until creamy. This could take 3 to 5 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract to flavor the dough.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the flour and salt, and gradually add them to the creamed mixture.
Add the Dried Fruit
Gently fold in the pistachios and cranberries. This will give your dough a beautiful color and an irresistible flavor.
Shaping and Freezing:
Shaping the Cake
Roll out the dough on plastic wrap, then form a compact log. Wrap it tightly and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Slicing:
Once the dough is completely frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice. Cut the roll into rounds approximately 1 cm thick.
