How to Make Thanksgiving Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, and ½ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries, the zest of 1 orange, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a rectangular log (approximately 8x4 inches).
- Wrap each log tightly in wax paper, then in plastic wrap.
- Freeze overnight, or for up to 2 months.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the frozen dough into ½-inch thick cookies.
- Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
