Instructions
- Beat softened butter with egg yolks until creamy.
- Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until you get a smooth texture.
- In small parts, add flour to the egg mixture. Whisk on slow just until the flour is fully mixed in.
- Once the dough is smooth and not crumbly, divide it into two parts.
- Mix dried cranberries into one portion of dough and chopped walnuts into the other.
- Place each portion of dough on a large piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log. Refrigerate the dough logs for at least an hour before baking.
- Slice the logs into even-sized pieces and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake cookies at 375°F for about 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
