Combine the eggs and cream and slowly pour into flour mixture. Mix until just blended, it will look lumpy. Add cranberries and blend. Dump dough onto well floured board and knead it into a ball.

Notes: This is a modified recipe from the Barefoot Contessa in 2009. It can be cut in squares, then into triangles or cut into circles and then into quarters. Do what you like, maybe little tiny rounds. This will make lots more! If they are small cook a shorter time. I have used craisins instead of cranberries.
Leave out the nuts if you like.
