Cranberry Chip Shortbread Cookies
Cranberry Chip Shortbread Cookies combine classic buttery shortbread with bursts of tart chopped cranberries and sweet mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. These cookies have a rich, tender crumb from creamed butter and sugar, chilled before slicing to maintain their shape during baking. The low oven temperature produces a pale, delicate cookie with crisp edges and a soft center. They're a subtle balance of sweet and tart, perfect as a snack or with tea during colder months.
