You just need several of your classic baking ingredients and some seasonal ones. Very easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Vanilla Extract<\/strong> &ndash; I used vanilla extract for the flavors because vanilla-cranberry-orange is an incredible flavor profile. Vanilla adds to the rich buttery flavor. The almond extract works great too.<\/li><li><strong>Fresh Cranberries<\/strong> &ndash; fresh cranberries are in season, so I have used that. This is one case where I don&rsquo;t recommend frozen because they will release too much moisture into the dough. You are more than welcome to use dried cranberries here instead of fresh ones.<\/li><li><strong>Orange Zest<\/strong> &ndash; because cranberries and oranges are a match made in heaven. Use Zest instead of juice because that&rsquo;s where all the flavor is, and added liquid would harm the texture of the cookie. The zest of one orange will be plenty.<\/li><li><strong>Butter<\/strong> &ndash; Please, use only real butter, not margarine. This recipe will not work with margarine. Make sure to use room-temperature butter. Neither melted nor frozen. The butter has to be soft to the touch.<\/li><li><strong>Flour<\/strong> &ndash; I have tried this cookie recipe with <ul><li>Only all-purpose flour (came out amazing)<\/li><li>with whole wheat flour (didn&rsquo;t like the taste)<\/li><li>And with 50% whole wheat and 50% all-purpose flour. (they were good)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Sugar<\/strong> &ndash; You can use brown sugar or white sugar.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6.jpg\" alt=\"Pre measured ingredients or making Cranberry Orange Shortbread cookies\" class=\"wp-image-14391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6-360x361.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-6.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"step-by-step-process-orange-cranberry-shortbread-cookies\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Step-by-step process Orange Cranberry Shortbread Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prep work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Finely chop the cranberries and set aside.<\/li><li>Line 9&times;13 inch baking tray with parchment paper and keep it aside.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let&rsquo;s make cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Using a hand beater, food processor, or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar really well until light and creamy.

Only slice into thin slices.<\/li><li>Be sure to start with room-temperature butter. Soft butter will incorporate into the flour to form a dough, whereas cold butter won&rsquo;t. Shortbread cookies do not contain eggs or any other extra liquid, so this is important to form a dough.<\/li><li>Be sure to bring your dough together completely &ndash; you don&rsquo;t want any dry flour or crumbly bits left. You can use a food processor to bring the dough together.<\/li><li>Be sure to chill the dough for at least two hours.&nbsp; If the dough gets warm, it is much harder to cut them, and it won&rsquo;t hold its shape.<\/li><li>Be sure to slice them all the same thickness.&nbsp; If you slice some thinner than others, the thinner ones will get brown and crunchy. I prefer to slice them a little on the thicker side, about \u00bc inch thick, because they stay a bit softer. You can also control the texture by how long you bake the cookies. I suggest baking one or two first as a test. I like mine melt-in-my-mouth tender, but you might like your crispier.<\/li><li>Baking time will vary from oven to oven and how thick or thin you sliced them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1669756125594\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why these cookies are not round?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Slice-and-bake cookies don&rsquo;t get perfectly round, but that&rsquo;s part of their charm. They have a more tender texture due to not being rolled, floured, and handled as much as cut-out cookies.<br>When you put the cookie dough log into the refrigerator to chill, it will become flat on the bottom, making a round cookie with one flat edge.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1669756156426\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I freeze these?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! Cranberry Orange Cookies can be frozen before or after baking.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><strong>Freezing before baking<\/strong><br>Wrap the cookie dough logs tightly in plastic wrap. Place them in plastic freezer bags. Then place in the freezer. The dough log can be frozen, well wrapped, for a few months.<br>Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight or sit on the counter for a few minutes before slicing and baking. The dough (especially the outside) needs to be firm before slicing. If it gets soft, put it back in the refrigerator to chill.<br><strong>To freeze-baked cookies<\/strong><br>Let them cool completely, then layer them, separated by sheets of parchment paper, in a sturdy freezer container and freeze.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-4.jpg\" alt=\"showing texture o Cranberry Orange Shortbread cookies\" class=\"wp-image-14374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-4-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cranberry-Orange-Shortbread-cookies-4.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"flavor-variations\"   class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" ><strong>Flavor variations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, if you&rsquo;re looking to please a crowd, These are the perfect cookies.

Don&rsquo;t crush them for this recipe.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to start with room-temperature butter. Soft butter will incorporate into the flour to form a dough, whereas cold butter won&rsquo;t. Shortbread cookies do not contain eggs or any other extra liquid, so this is important to form a dough.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to bring your dough together completely &ndash; you don&rsquo;t want any dry flour or crumbly bits left. You can use a food processor to bring the dough together.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to chill the dough for at least two hours.&nbsp; If the dough gets warm, it is much harder to cut them, and it won&rsquo;t hold its shape.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to slice them all the same thickness.&nbsp; If you slice some thinner than others, the thinner ones will get brown and crunchy. I prefer to slice them a little on the thicker side, about \u00bc inch thick, because they stay a bit softer. You can also control the texture by how long you bake the cookies. or crispier cookie, bake 3 to 4 minutes more.<\/li>\n<li>Baking time will vary from oven to oven and how thick or thin you sliced them.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-nutrition-header wprm-block-text-bold wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\" style=\"\">Nutrition<\/h3><div
