Cranberry Nut Cookies

I found this simple recipe in a magazine while I was waiting my turn at the hair salon. These cookies are very fast to prepare, all you need is just a few ingredients, but be sure to use a very good extra virgin olive oil if you don't want your cookies smell of machine oil...You can make them with any kind of nut, I had walnuts at home, anyway the original recipe was with pistachios and dried cranberries. Here the recipe of these delicious Cranberry Nut Cookies, enjoy! 
Cranberry Nut Cookies

400 g white flour
200 g sugar
1 egg
3 egg yolks
80 g extra virgin olive oil
70 g dried cranberries
70 g walnuts
a pinch of baking powder

Beat the egg and the yolks with the sugar until they get light and frothy. Add flour and the rest of the ingredients. If necessary add some more flour to get a more solid compound. Create a sort of bread block and put it into a previously buttered oven dish.  Preheat the oven to 180 C and bake for about 15 min. Let it cool and cut the block crosswise to form the cookies.
