Cranberry-orange cookies

Description

Perfect with tea and coffee. Delicious cranberry-orange cookies are very easy and quick to make. Instead of cranberries, you can use dried cherries, apricots, or prunes. You can turn flour, sugar, and cold butter into fine crumbs using a blender or by hand. To do this, grate the cold butter on a grater, then mix it with the flour and sugar. Grate the zest from the orange, using only the yellow part. Keep in mind: the more zest you add, the stronger the aroma of the cookies will be. You may need slightly more or less juice—add it gradually. The dough should come together into a ball but still remain slightly crumbly. Do not use egg white in this recipe, as it will make the cookies tough. The dough can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks. Do not overbake the cookies, even if they seem underdone. Otherwise, instead of tender, crumbly cookies, you'll end up with hard ones. Let the cookies cool completely before removing them. They are very fragile when hot. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
