  • Cranberry Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 5-ounce package Craisins® Original Dried Cranberries, chopped*

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour, a little at a time, until combined. Stir in dried cranberries.

Cookies can be made into balls or flattened. To make round cookies, roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 dozen at a time on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from sheets; cool slightly and dust with additional powdered sugar.

To make flat cookies, form dough into 1-inch balls as directed above. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar, flatten balls on cookie sheet, making rounds 2-inches in diameter. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Cool.

Makes 6 dozen cookies.

* For orange-flavored cookies, use Craisins® Orange Flavor Dried Cranberries and 2 teaspoons grated orange peel.

This recipe is one of my favorites. I added nuts and orange zest to the recipe and everyone loved it. It has become one of my favorites. Freezes well, too. I roll them in powdered sugar after baking, then when cooled, roll them once again in powdered sugar.

The only thing I would question is should the flour be sifted before it is measured? I think when I make them next time I am going to try that. Everyone at work wants the recipe!

I plan to use this recipe often. I did have one friend who said they were too buttery but I don't think she realized that that is what shortbread is! :-) I like them and will share the recipe with my other "baking friends."
