Unsalted Butter Orange Zest Cranberries Chocolate
1
Beat butter together with sugar, vanilla, and salt until it’s light and fluffy. Then beat in the orange zest.
2
Add flour one cup at a time, mix in cranberries, and continue beating until the dough forms a ball.
3
Separate your dough ball into two halves, and shape into logs. Then wrap tightly and place them in the fridge to chill.
4
When you’re ready to bake, slice the dough logs into cookies and place them onto a lined baking sheet.
5
Bake for 9-11 minutes. Then let the cookies cool for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
6
If you want to trim off of the crispy edges, use a round cookie cutter and do it right when they come out of the oven.
7
Once the cookies are cool, melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring until it’s smooth.
8
Then, using a piping bag, drizzle the chocolate over the cookies.
9
Allow the cookies to set, then serve and enjoy!
