Cranberry and Orange Shortbread

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 30 biscuits

Ingredients
  

  • 60 g cranberries (dried)
  • 1 orange zest
  • 360 g plain flour
  • 110 g caster sugar Plus extra for sprinkling over
  • 125 g margarine/unsalted butter
  • icing sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / gas 4. Prepare your lined baking tray.
  • Beat the sugar, butter and orange zest together until you get a nice smooth mixture.
  • Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon, until your mixture turns to a paste. It will go very crumbly but will eventually come together. Using your hands gently work the dough into a ball, you might want to do it a bit at a time, I found doing this much easier.
  • Roll your dough out gently and sprinkle the dried cranberries on then roll over with your rolling pin.
  • Cut out with a cutter of your choice and sprinkle with a bit more sugar. Put in the oven for 15-20 minutes until light golden brown.
  • Put them to cool on a metal wire rack. Once cooled dust with icing sugar.
  • Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
