Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • POWDERED SUGAR FOR ROLLING THE COOKIES

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment cream butter for 2 minutes. Add sugar and mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl sift flour and salt. Gradually add flour and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until incorporated. Add hazelnuts and cranberries and mix so they are evenly distributed.
  • Roll 1 tbsp balls and line them on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches in between. If you prefer not to bake all the cookies at once, transfer to a Hefty bag and freeze for later.
  • Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
  • Let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar and transfer to a cooling rack to cool down completely
  • Roll cookies in powdered sugar again before serving.

Notes

Instead of 1/4 cup of each chopped cranberries and hazelnuts, you can substitute with 1/2 cup of chopped nuts like pecans or almonds.
