Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened (no substitutions)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange peel
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup maizenaku
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried cranberries
HOW TO MAKE
- Preheat oven to 300ºF. Mix butter, sugar, orange peel and vanilla extract thoroughly using an electric mixer. Gradually blend in flour and maizenaku. Mix in cranberries.
- Form into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten using fingers or a flat bottomed drinking glass (dipped in sugar to prevent sticking).
- Bake at 300ºF for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bottoms begin to brown. Cool for 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- RECIPE NOTE: For European-style shortbread, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pat into a 1/3-inch thick rectangle measuring 11 x 8-inches. Cut into 2 x 1-inch strips. Place 1-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Prick with a fork. Bake as above.
