Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 30 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 1 cup dried cranberries finely chopped
  • 2 ounces white chocolate melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in the almond extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and blend until incorporated. Mix in the orange zest and dried cranberries.
  • Onto a well-floured surface, roll the dough out to about a ¼ inch thick. Cut out the cookies with a 2.5 inch cookie cutter.
  • Place the cookies on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. These cookies can spread a bit when baking so leave some space between each one on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake the cookies at 325 degrees for 12 minutes, or until the edges just barely start to turn golden.
  • When the cookies have cooled completely, use a fork to drizzle the white chocolate over them.

Notes

Storage – Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. You can also keep them in the fridge for up to 10 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
