Rosemary Cranberry Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and rosemary in a bowl.
• Mix together butter, honey, and confectioners sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed, then add flour mixture and mix until dough resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Gather dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead dough until it just comes together, about 8 times. Halve dough and form each half into a 5-inch disk.
• Roll out 1 disk (keep remaining dough at room temperature) between 2 sheets of parchment into a 9-inch round (trim as necessary). Remove top sheet of parchment and transfer dough on bottom sheet of parchment to a baking sheet. Score dough into 8 wedges by pricking dotted lines with a fork, then mark edges decoratively. Arrange rosemary sprigs (if using) decoratively on top of dough, pressing lightly to help adhere, and sprinkle dough with 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar.
• Bake shortbread in middle of oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Slide shortbread on parchment to a rack and cool 5 minutes. Transfer with a metal spatula to a cutting board and cut along score marks with a large heavy knife.
• Make another shortbread with remaining dough.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, 1/3 cup softened butter and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in cranberries and rosemary.
• On floured surface, roll dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with 2-inch round cookie cutters. On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts 1 inch apart.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth, using enough orange juice until glaze is thin enough to spread. Spread thin layer of glaze over each cookie. Let stand about 20 minutes or until glaze is set. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
