Cranberry Shortbread cookies 1135These cookies are great and have nuts in them and are shortbread with cranberries. Could skip the coconut if that puts you off. Lynne Cranberry Noel Cookies 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1-2...
I made these yesterday...I've never made shortbread before, so I don't know if I did something wrong, but the dough was pretty much just crumbs that I had to smoosh together to form cookies. I used four ounces of white choc chips (Ghirardelli, I think), and didn't mind them. Only a few showed up in each cookie. I also realized at the last minute that I didn't have enough cranberries. I added a small amount of dried, tart cherries to make up the difference. And I added the zest of an orange -- what a wonderful touch!
I can't keep my hands off these cookies...they're wonderful! And I think they're pretty versatile...they would have been fine wfewer cranberries than called for, or without the white chocolate. Nuts (almonds, I think) would be nice, too. Though I'm making these for a teacher cookie exchange at my son's school, and they asked for nut-free cookies. But maybe next time....
Thanks for the recipe, Dawn! I still have some more to bake...I baked one batch last night, and rolled the rest of the dough into a log that I'll slice and bake this afternoon. Chris
