15 to 17 min

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 6-ounce package Craisins® Original Sweetened Dried Cranberries, chopped

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour, a little at a time, until combined. Stir in sweetened dried cranberries.
  3. Cookies can be made into balls or flattened. To make round cookies, roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 dozen at a time on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from sheets; cool slightly and dust with additional powdered sugar.
  4. To make flat cookies, form dough into 1-inch balls as directed above. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar, flatten balls on cookie sheet, making rounds 2-inches in diameter. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Cool.
  5. Makes 6 dozen cookies.

Notes

For orange-flavored cookies, use Craisins® Orange Flavor Sweetened Dried Cranberries and 2 teaspoons grated orange peel.
