Ingredients

The following ingredients have 25 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour ((you may need as much as 3 1/2 cups))
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup dried sweetened cranberries (very finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest ((from about 1 orange))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, and beat on medium-low speed until smooth.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, and continue to beat until incorporated.
  • Add 3 cups of the flour, the cornstarch, and salt, and stir on low speed until a stiff dough has formed.
  • If the dough still feels sticky, add more flour (1/4 cup at a time) until it pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
  • Stir in the dried cranberries and orange zest.
  • Between 2 sheets of parchment paper, roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8-inch.
  • Use a 2 1/2-inch fluted round cookie cutter to cut shapes.
  • Place the unbaked cookies on the prepared baking sheets, and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden around the edges.
