Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Zest grated

Instructions 

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped cranberries and orange zest.
  6. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Slice the dough logs into ¼-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
