Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a pinch of table salt. Gently whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Add 1 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter to your dry mixture. Using a paddle attachment on your mixer, pulse until they resemble coarse crumbs, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in 1 cup of fresh cranberries and the zest from one orange. Use a spatula to blend until evenly distributed.
- Gather the dough and knead gently until it forms a ball. On parchment paper, roll into a rectangle measuring approximately 4x12 inches.
- Wrap the dough in parchment paper or plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).
- Slice the chilled dough into 24 cookies, about ½ inch thick, and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the edges appear lightly browned.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack. Prepare the glaze by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes
Ensure your unsalted butter is cold for better mixing. Don't skip the chilling step to maintain shape while baking.
