Cranberry Orange White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies


Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp orange zest, zest of 2 small oranges

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/4 tsp kosher salt

1 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped

1 cup white chocolate chips




Instructions Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and orange zest. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Once creamed, add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.


Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture and mix on low until the flour is incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.


Add the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips and mix until combined. You may need to finish mixing with a rubber spatula as sometimes my mixer doesn't incorporate everything at the bottom of the bowl.


Divide the dough into 4 portions. Place each portion of dough on to some plastic wrap. You are going to roll each one into a log. You can make them as small or big as you'd like. .


. Once all of the dough has been rolled into logs, chill for at least an hour or overnight.


When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, slice the cookies into 1/4-1/2 inches thick slices. Place on the prepared cookie sheet, about 1/2 inch apart. The cookies do not spread much while baking. Keep any unsliced dough in the fridge.


Bake the cookies for 7-10 minutes depending on the thickness. They should be lightly golden brown around the edges when they are done. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.


Cool the cookies on the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Continue baking batches of cookies until all have been baked.


Description

This is a wonderful combination of cranberries, orange and chocolate. Three winners.


Servings

The original recipe says 100 but I got about 50 at the most. I think my roll had a large diameter.


Notes

Please use a very sharp knife as it has to cut through the dried cranberries and the chips. I found it was easier to cut if I took the dough out of the fridge about 5 of 10 minutes before cutting. The dough is beautiful and comes together beautifully.
