Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose einkorn flour
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat butter and sugar together in large bowl.
  • Add the flour about 1/2 cup at a time and mix until well blended.
  • Add the cranberries and lemon zest and mix just until combined.
  • Place half the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and slowly roll into a log. The dough is pliable at this stage so you can manipulate and shape it as you need within the plastic wrap.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight.
  • When it's time to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove plastic wrap from dough and slice into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Carefully place dough slices on cookie sheets lined with silpats or parchment paper.
  • Bake for 12-18 minutes. 12 minutes will give you a softer shortbread texture, while 18 will give you a crispy shortbread.
