Cranberry Cinnamon Delight Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Cinnamon Delight Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by sifting together the all-purpose flour and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. This step not only combines the ingredients but also aerates the flour, making your cookies light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, cream together the room temperature butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Next, add in one egg and mix thoroughly until well combined, then follow with the second egg, ensuring everything is blended smoothly. Gradually incorporate the flour and cinnamon mixture into the butter and sugar blend, stirring gently until just combined. Finally, fold in the sweetened dried cranberries, adding a burst of flavor and color to your dough. Now, it’s time to shape your cookie dough! Roll it into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least one hour. This chilling step is crucial as it helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Once the dough is firm, remove it from the freezer and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Arrange the cookie slices on a large baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown. The aroma will be irresistible! Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or share them with friends and family for a sweet treat!
