These are perfect for the person who doesn’t like their sweets too sweet. I looooove them. I even keep some in the fridge and eat them for breakfast! Yum.
Let’s make cookies together...
You’ll need: 2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 orange, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup softened butter.
Picture
zest one orange
Picture
dump it in a medium sized bowl along with two sticks of softened butter
Picture
whip it until it’s nice and fluffy
Picture
now 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Picture
mix it well
Picture
Picture
next, 2 cups of flour
Picture
Picture
when you first start mixing it’ll look crumbly... just keep going
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
chop 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Picture
Picture
stir them in with a spatula
Picture
Picture
lay out a piece of plastic wrap
Picture
plop your cookie dough on top
Picture
shape it into a log
Picture
roll up it tightly
Picture
Picture
Picture
i went for an extra layer just to be sure
Picture
Roll it like play dough till you’re satisfied with the shape. Pop it in the freezer until you’re ready to bake (at least 30 min up to four months)
Picture
pull out the cookie dough while you preheat your oven to 350°
Picture
unwrap it on a cutting board
Picture
slice into 1/3 inch thick
Picture
Picture
bake for 14 minutes

lol. They don’t look much different after they’re baked except that the edges are a bit golden. Leave on the baking sheet until cooled.

eat as is ooooorrr top with an orange glaze—
Picture
For the glaze: whisk 1 1/2 c p sugar with the juice from half an orange
Picture
Picture
Spoon the glaze onto each cookie + use a baking sheet and cooling rack to catch the drippings
Picture
Picture
The icing will set so you can stack them + serve them at a tea party.
