Cranberry and Orange Shortbread

Recipe by Globe Scoffers

Fancy a shortbread with your cup of tea? Why not try and make these Cranberry and Orange Shortbread!

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)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / gas 4. Prepare your lined baking tray.
2. Beat the sugar, butter and orange zest together until you get a nice smooth mixture.
3. 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.
4. Roll your dough out gently and sprinkle the dried cranberries on then roll over with your rolling pin.
5. 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.
6. Put them to cool on a metal wire rack. Once cooled dust with icing sugar.
7. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
