Como fazer Cranberry Lemon Shortbread Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg yolk and the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup dried cranberries.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ½-inch thickness.
  8. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out desired shapes.
  9. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. **For the Icing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons cranberry juice until you reach a smooth, pale pink consistency. Add more cranberry juice if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  13. Once the cookies are completely cool, decorate with the cranberry icing. Allow the icing to set before serving.
