These Orange Cranberry Shortbread Cookies are TOO Good!

Pat knows good and well that he isn’t allowed to eat anything in this house until it’s been photographed. It’s the reason sometimes I cook dinner at 10am and he has to reheat it at 7pm when it’s in shambles after a photo shoot. He knows he’s not to sneak food, ESPECIALLY cookies before I have a chance to get them documented for you.

These Cranberry Orange Shortbread Cookies are so good that he broke all the rules and ate 4 before I had a chance to take pics. Dog house! He didn’t care because he loves orange cranberry shortbread that much. Again, thank you Mom!

Cranberry Orange is the Perfect Flavor for Shortbread Cookies

I just love the flavor combination of these orange cranberry shortbread cookies. The dried cranberries with the orange zest, a touch of salt, and crunchy shortbread…YUM! They’re so pretty too…even prettier in person. Cranberry Shortbread Cookies just scream Christmas to me. The flavors, colors, and overall charm. These make a great homemade present because they keep well, better than most cookies. I’m obsessed…can you tell?
