Instructions

  1. Chop cranberries.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in vanilla and cornstarch, then add flour gradually. When combined (it probably won’t hold into a ball yet), mix in orange zest and cranberries. Knead a couple times if needed.
  3. Roll dough into a log. To create a smooth log, I used a rolling motion like when kids make play dough snakes. Wrap the log with waxed paper and refrigerate at least an hour.
  4. After the dough is chilled, cut into approximately ¼ inch slices. If you’d like to decorate the cookies with nuts or sugar, do so now.
  5. Set cookies on ungreased cookies sheet allowing for some spread.
  6. Bake at 350 F for 12-15 minutes. Cookies are done when they are just starting to brown on the edges.
