Ingredients
2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
3/4 cups Granulated Sugar, divided + 1 tablespoon to sprinkle over cookies
1 cup, 2 sticks Unsalted Butter, cubed and cold
1/2 cup Dried Cranberries

Cranberry Orange Cookies |
Directions
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a processor pulse a few times the cranberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. If you do not have a processor, just chop the dried cranberries into smaller pieces and combine with sugar using a spatula. Set aside.
Add flour and remaining sugar in a large bowl and combine with spatula.
Add cubed/cold butter chunks and with a pastry cutter work until you achieve fine crumb texture.

Use your hands and knead dough until combined and forms a ball.
Either shape dough into a log shape or form into round shape and cover with plastic wrap. Set in fridge for 2 hours.
Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Cranberry Orange Cookies yumminess |
If you did a log shape cut slices that are 1/4 inch thick.
I rolled out the dough and with a cutter cut round shapes.
Place cookies on baking sheet and lightly sprinkle sugar over the top before baking.
Bake for 12 to 18 minutes. My cookies baked in 18 minutes.

After 2 to 3 minutes, remove cookies from baking sheet and transfer to wire rack to cool completely. This is where I ate one warm just to give it the taste test. Yum!
