Ingredients
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 orange zest, finely grated
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup chopped dried cranberries I used Ocean Spray Dried Cranberries
- 1 10oz bag Ghirardelli white melting wafers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and orange zest. When it's well combined add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Add the salt and flour and mix until combined.
- Add the cranberries. Use your hands to knead the dough until it comes together and forms a ball. Work the dough until it comes together.
- Shape dough into a log about two inches in a diameter and 8 to 9 inches long. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours or longer.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Cut slices of cookie dough about 1/3 inch thick. If one side of the log is flat, roll it a little to make it round again.
- Bake for about 12-14 minutes, until barely golden at the bottom edges. Let the cookies cool.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers (follow instructions on the package). Dip half of the cookie into the melted chocolate and place them on parchment to set. And Enjoy!
