Ingredients
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
1/4 cup canola oil
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup salted pumpkin seeds or pepitas, toasted
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat the first 5 ingredients until well blended. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture; mix just until moistened (dough will be sticky). Stir in pumpkin seeds and cranberries.

2.
Divide dough in half. On a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, shape each portion into a 12x2-in. rectangle using lightly floured hands. Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes.

3.
Carefully remove rectangles to wire racks; cool 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 3/4-in. slices. Return to baking sheets, cut side down.

4.
Bake until firm, about 5 minutes. Turn; bake until lightly browned, 5-10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
