Add your vanilla or orange essence along with the orange zest

Add this time, add your flour slowly and mix well slow in the mixer slightly and you will get a crumbly texture.

To this mixture, add your chopped cranberries and mix well with your hands.

Your dough will start coming together. If you feel the dough is dry and not coming together then add 1 teaspoon of milk to it.

Take half of the dough and roll it in a log and do the same for the rest of the dough. You will have 2 logs ready to go.

If you don't want to make a log, then you can roll the dough and use cookie cutter as well. The choice is yours

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 45 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the cut cookies a little apart and bake it for 12 mins.

Once the cookies are baked, let it sit on the tray for another minute and then move it with the help of the spatula on to the cooling rack.

Let me cool completely before storing them into a airtight container.
