Orange Cranberry Shortbread Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl with the paddle attachment, mix flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt.

  2. Add the butter cubes and mix until the butter is evenly distributed into the flour mixture, about 3 minutes. The mixture should resemble wet sand and should form into a ball when squeezed in your palm.

  3. Stir in the cranberries and orange zest.

  4. Turn the mixture onto a parchment paper or silicone mat and knead it into a smooth ball. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll it into a 4x12-inch rectangle.

  5. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.

  6. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325°F

  7. Slice the cookies into 24 sticks and arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat.

  8. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edges starts to lightly brown.

  9. (TIP: The cookies will be slightly misshapen. Simply squeeze the cookies from both sides with 2 offset spatulas, or bench scrapers, as soon as they come out of the oven.)

  10. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.

  11. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Transfer the glaze into a pastry bag or a squeeze bottle and drizzle over cooled cookies.
