Description
Crisp, buttery shortbread meets the tart pop of cranberry and a drizzle of silky white chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch pieces
- 6 oz Callebaut white chocolate, melted (for drizzling or dipping)
- 2 tbsp chopped dried cranberries, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cranberries and crushed red pepper (if using) cover with boiling water. Let stand for 10 minutes, then drain.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add flour, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Pulse to combine. Add butter and soaked cranberries. Pulse until dough starts to clump together. Remove dough from processor onto a piece of parchment and press into a free-form square/rectangle. Place another piece of parchment over top and roll dough between the two sheets of parchment to a 12 x 9 rectangle. With a knife or bench scraper, cut thirty-six 3 x 1-inch pieces, without separating. Slide parchment onto baking sheet and remove top piece of parchment.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven, cool on wire rack.
- Drizzle each rectangle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with chopped cranberries. Or dip each cooled cookie halfway into melted chocolate and sprinkle with dried cranberries.
