I cannot have these any more, as I am completely allergic to cranberries, and to orange ... but


Cranberry Orange Shortbread Turkeys:

Soften two sticks of butter (leaving them out the night before where the pets cannot get to them is fine, or a few hours ahead, or just microwave them until they’re a little soft).

Set the oven 350°

Cream the butter, then add
1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon orange oil (optional)

Mix together:
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped up dried cranberries

Mix together with first mixture, it’ll form a crumbly dough. Roll it out about 1/4 inch thick, use a cookies cutter to make shapes, or just cut it into squares. These are usually made with the turkey-shaped cookie cutter for Thanksgiving! I do, however, ALWAYS make a few bunnies, too. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are very faintly browned.
