- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida) (You can also make them half whole wheat and half All Purpose Flour)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence or vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dried cranberries, chopped
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the flour mixture, vanilla and dried cranberries until just incorporated.
- Gather dough together and keep it in the bowl covered and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes to chill. This will make it easier to roll and cut the cookies.
- Preheat oven to about 180 degrees C (~350F) . Line a baking tray with parchment paper or silicon mat.
- Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Cut the dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter. Place on the prepared baking tray and keep in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This will help your cookie keep it's shape and not spread while baking.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until cookies turn lightly brown on sides.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet. They will be soft when you take them out of the oven. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and then store in an airtight container.
- This dough also freezes well if you don’t wish to bake all of the cookies together.

Can these be made with fresh cranberries?
Johnson I have not tried making these with fresh cranberries so can’t say. Fresh cranberries bleed sometimes so I would say stick with dried cranberries 🙂
Awesome! Thanks 🙂
Can these be frozen.
I have never tried freezing them but it should work 🙂
Tried these once and have been making them over and over again. My husband just loves them with his tea.
