Cranberry Shortbread Stars
My family loves shortbread and I love cranberries, so I decided to put the two together. The star shape is a festive addition to my holiday cookie tray. —Sonya Labbe, West Hollywood, California

These are really good, but are difficult to cut out. Ended up rolling them out and cutting into squares
My new favorite Christmas cookie! I added an almond glaze over the top. So delicious and pretty!
Made these for Christmas and had the shortbread loving family members asking for me to make again :)
Dried cranberries are too sticky to be used with cookie cutters. This recipe didn’t work at all. I ended up just rolling it out and cutting it into rectangles with a knife. I was really hoping for cute stars instead!
I have been making these cookies for the past two years and are now a permanent part of my Christmas cookie recipe collection. Chewy on the inside and crispy on the star tips. The tartness of the cranberries pairs perfectly with the shortbread an will leave you wanting more and more and more.
Was a favorite of everyone made them for
