It’s November people! Can you believe it??
This morning I saw a Christmas commercial on tv and I got all warm and fuzzy. I think I’m really ready for the holiday season!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- between 3 and 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup dried sweetened cranberries, very finely chopped
- zest of one medium orange
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, and beat on medium-low speed until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla, and continue to beat until incorporated.
- Add 3 cups of the flour, the cornstarch, and salt, and stir on low speed until a stiff dough has formed.
- If the dough still feels sticky, add more flour (1/4 cup at a time) until it pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
- Stir in the dried cranberries and orange zest.
- Between 2 sheets of parchment paper, roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8-inch.
- Use a 2 1/2-inch fluted round cookie cutter to cut shapes.
- Place the unbaked cookies on the prepared baking sheets, and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden around the edges.
