Cranberry Noel Tea Cookies

Category: Cookies

 Ingredients List

  • 2-4 oz sticks salted butter at room temperature (8 oz total)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 T milk or cream
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 c chopped pecans
  • 3/4 c chopped dried cranberries
  • 1/4 c extra sugar

 Directions

1. Cream butter and sugar til fluffy. Add milk and vanilla - mix. Add flour and salt - mix well. It might seem crumbly at this point but if you keep blending it will come together eventually. Add the cranberries and pecans.

2. Roll into 2 logs about 8 x 1 1/2". Wrap and chill for 2 hours in the fridge. I've also put them in the freezer for 30-60 minutes and this works the same way. You just want it to be firm enough to cut without misshaping the round cookie.

3. Slice cookies about 1/4" thick. Roll edges of cookie in sugar (if you want. But I highly recommend!)

4. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets, or Silpats. Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes. DON'T OVER-BAKE (well, unless you like hard hockey puck type cookies...)

5. Eat. Eat more. Eat a few more. Give some to friends - wait, just kidding.
