Description

Ingredients

• 2 sticks of softened, unsalted butted (I used salted)
• 2/3 of a cup of confectioners sugar, sifted
• 2 egg yolks
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of flour
• The zest of 2 oranges
• 1/2 a cup of chopped dried cranberries

Directions

• Cream the butter until smooth and then mix in the sugar until fully combined.
• Add the remaining ingredients except the flour which you will add slowly until everything is just combined. The mixture will look a little crumbly; this is ok (youll press it together in the next step).
• On a wax paper covered surface, form two logs with your dough, around 1 1/4 inches thick. Wrap them in wax paper. Chill these in your refrigerator for a couple hours (I got impatient and did one hour).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Unwrap your logs and slice to a desired thickness (I did around 1/3 of an inch) and place them on a parchment lined baking pan (I used wax paper, which can get quite smokey but I was out of parchment).
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until they are done, but not quite browned.
