Cranberry Shortbread


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) butter, softened
  • 1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups (550 mL) all purpose flour
  • 1 pkg (170 g) Craisins® Sweetened Dried Cranberries, chopped*

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in flour, a little at a time. Stir in Craisins® Sweetened Dried Cranberries.
  3. Form dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place 1 dozen at a time on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from sheets; cool slightly and sprinkle with icing sugar. Or use the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar to flatten balls to rounds about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Cool.
