CRANBERRY ORANGE SLICE ‘N’ BAKE COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter 170g, softened
• 3/4 cup icing/powdered sugar 90g
• 1 large egg room temperature
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 2 cups plain/all-purpose flour 250g
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries 90g

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and orange juice, and beat until combined. Add the flour, salt, and zest, and beat until combined. Fold in the cranberries.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a 12-inch long log (about 2 inches wide), or two 6-inch logs. Tightly wrap the log in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, and up to 5 days. I like to chill mine overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4, and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
4. Slice the log into thick slices, and place them onto the prepared baking tray. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes until lightly brown around the edges. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
