Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup confectioner's powdered sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2/3 cup sliced almonds toasted
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet or line with a silpat baking liner.
- Place butter, powdered sugar, almond extract and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl if using a handheld mixer.
- Beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Turn mixer speed to low, and gradually add flour and orange zest. Mix until a dough forms.
- Stir in almonds and cranberries with a spatula.
- Pat dough into a ball, and then form into a log shape, about 2-inches in diameter.
- Wrap the log in plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, at least an hour.
- Remove the dough from the freezer and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Place on cookie sheet, at least 1-inch apart. Bake for about 15 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden. Check them after 10 minutes as ovens can vary!
- Let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet.
