Orange Cranberry Cookies
Orange Cranberry Cookies are deliciously packed full of flavor. Simple, and made in 30 minutes, these picture perfect cookies are sure to be a hit for any occasion.
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.
