Vegan Cranberry Orange Icebox Shortbread Cookies Recipe

By Peanut Palate

🔪Prep Time: 15 mins

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

¼ cup salted vegan butter softened at room temperature

¼ cup icing sugar

¼ tsp pure vanilla extract

⅛ tsp pink salt

½ mediun orange grated for zest

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp dried cranberries

Instructions

1In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, orange zest and salt with an electric mixer on high speed.

2Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until the dough forms. Turn off the mixer and mix in the cranberries by hand.

3Now place the dough on a flat piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Flour your hands and roll the dough out into a small log. The ends of the log should be big enough to cut into small biscuits.

4Tightly wrap the cookie log into the parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

5After 2 hours, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the cookies from the refrigerator. Set out a baking tray.

6Unwrap the cookie dough logs and place the parchment paper or a silicone mat on the baking tray. Cut the dough in equal portions with a very sharp knife. It should make about 20 small cookies.

7Place them evenly on the tray. If the dough has a crumbly texture, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

8Once the oven is ready, bake cookies for about 17 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.

9Remove the cookies from the oven. Let them cool completely on a wire rack or baking sheet before eating. Enjoy!

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
