This would be great with a Hardywood Gingerbread Stout.

Cranberry Orange Cookies - a tender, buttery shortbread slice and bake cookie loaded with tangy cranberries and zingy orange.

TOTAL TIME
2 hrs 35 mins

SERVINGS
48 cookies

INGREDIENTS

2 ¼ cups (319g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level method)
½ teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons (227g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (149g) granulated sugar
½ cup (57g) confectioners' sugar
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries packed
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest from 2-3 oranges
½ cup sugar for sprinkling on cookies optional
Extra orange zest for sprinkling on cookies optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk flour and salt together in a bowl.

Cream the butter, sugars, and zest together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer) for 1 ½ minutes.

Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla until combined.

Mix in the flour and salt just until combined.

Mix in the dried cranberries.

Roll the dough into 2 equally sized logs, about 8 inches long and 1 ¾ inches in diameter. Wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3-4 days.

When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325° F and put the rack in the middle.

When the oven is ready, slice the cookie dough into about 1/3 inch circles. Use a sharp, serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to slice through the dough cleanly.

Put the cookies about 1 inch apart (they won’t really spread) on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle them with a little sugar.

For best results, bake one sheet at a time until the bottom edges are just turning golden for a crisper cookie, about 13 minutes.

For a softer cookie, pull them out when the cookies are set but not yet turning golden on the bottom edges, about 12 minutes.

Sprinkle the cookies with a little sugar again as soon as they come from the oven for extra sparkle.

Let the cookies cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheet, then carefully move to a cooling rack.

I like to sprinkle them with freshly grated orange zest before serving.

NOTES
If you want a thinner cookie, slice them into ¼ inch rounds. They will need less baking time.
Cut into 1/3 inch rounds, this recipe will yield about 48 cookies.

We know Thanksgiving is all about the food, and rightfully so (who doesn't enjoy stuffing and turkey?). But before you go gobbling up all the deliciousness
