Citrus Shortbread Cookies
This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, one of the best cooks I know...and given that we're from south Louisiana, that's saying something. With the chopped up dried cranberries, these are as pretty as they are tasty.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts and orange zest.
Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
Fold in the cranberries; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions, then roll into logs about 7 inches long.
Wrap each log in wax paper or plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Remove wax paper, and cut the cookie dough into 1/2-inch slices.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until firm but not browned, about 10 minutes.
