Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup of powdered sugar
2 cups of all-purpose flour
½ cup of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of orange zest
1 cup of dried cranberries, chopped
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ teaspoon of salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat them together until the mixture is fluffy and pale. This process takes about 3-5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the orange zest, dried cranberries, and vanilla extract.
Shape the dough into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the dough from the fridge and slice it into ¼-inch thick rounds. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Delightful cookies that marry the tangy brightness of orange zest with the tartness of cranberries, creating a nostalgic flavor and aroma perfect for any occasion.
