Yield Makes about 1 1/2 dozen 1 3/4-inch hearts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped dried cranberries or cherries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees with rack in center. Combine butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, flour, and salt in large mixing bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon until combined but not too creamy. Stir in dried cranberries.
  • Pat dough evenly into an 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan. Bake until just beginning to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Place pan on cooling rack until cool enough to touch, about 20 minutes. Run knife around edges, remove shortbread, and transfer, right side up, to work surface. Use 1 1/2- to 2-inch heart cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Use a paring knife to trim stray bits of cranberry from edges. Cookies will keep for 5 days at room temperature in an airtight container.

I love the idea of these cookies, but I found the dough to be a little too dry. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter next time.

I had a hard time getting the dough to come together. I ended up adding a little bit of water and then it was fine.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The shortbread was so buttery and flavorful, and the cranberries added a nice tartness.

I've made these cookies several times now and they always turn out great. They're a little crumbly, but that's part of their charm. I love the tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of the shortbread.
