cranberry orange

A tender, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth shortbread that is studded with citrusy orange zest and tangy dried cranberry, packing a burst of flavour in each bite!

Cranberry Orange Shortbread Cookie

250 g unsalted/salted butter (softened at room temp)

g castor sugar

70 g icing sugar

vanilla extract

335 g all purpose plain flour

rice flour

100 g dried cranberries (chopped finely)

orange

Grate orange zest using 1-2 oranges, then place zest and castor sugar in a clean bowl, rub together using back of spoon to release the essential oil and citrusy aroma. Set aside.

Finely chop dried cranberries and set aside. If using Thermomix, place cranberries into mixing bowl, and chop 10 sec/speed 6. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

If you do not have icing sugar, place 70g castor sugar into mixing bowl and mill 10 seconds / speed 10. Scrape down sides using spatula. If you have icing sugar handy, weigh in 70g icing sugar. 

Add orange zest and castor sugar mixture from Step 2, softened butter and vanilla extract into the mixing bowl. Mix 30 seconds / speed 4. 

Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula, add flour and salt (if using) and mix 15 seconds / speed 4.

Add chopped cranberries, knead 2 minutes.

Thermomix Method

In mixing bowl, beat butter until smooth, for about a minute.

Add orange sugar mixture from Step 2 above and icing sugar, then beat until light and creamy, this takes about 2 minutes.

Beat in vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Stir in the flour mixture until just incorporated. For those using unsalted butter, add ½ tsp salt at this stage.

Fold in the chopped dried cranberries. 

Conventional Method

Divide dough into 2-3 equal portions. Place a portion on cling wrap or parchment paper, and evenly spread into a log. Shape into square/rectangle/circle of your choice and place shaped logs in the freezer for an hour.[Tip: Use a U-shape cookie mould for a more even shape or if you&#39;re doing it free-hand, a sushi bamboo mat may be helpful.]

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, then preheat oven to 160°C (convection with fan) when you remove dough from freezer.

Using a sharp knife or dough scraper, slice about 0.5-1cm thick, and arrange on lined baking pan about 1cm apart. You may want to press it gently with your fingers to shape it nicely. Thicker slices will turn out softer in texture, and the thinner ones will crisp up slightly. 

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until cookies start to turn golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to cool on a wire rack. Store in air tight container once cooled completely! 

To Shape &amp; Bake

A combination of sweet oranges and tart cranberries make the perfect flavor in this Cranberry Orange Bread. Use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest for the glaze. 

Cranberry Orange Bread

sugar

milk ((2%))

orange juice

oil ((canola

eggs

all-purpose flour

baking powder

salt

cranberries

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, orange juice, zest, oil, eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

In a small bowl, toss the frozen cranberries with a tablespoon of flour to coat.

Gently fold the cranberries into the batter.

Pour the bread batter into a greased 9"x5" bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean.

Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, orange juice and zest,  and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.

Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Slice and serve.

unsalted butter (room temperature)

egg (room temperature)

orange emulsion or extract

orange (zested)

cornstarch

Place ½ cup of dried cranberries in food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Cranberries will start to form a ball. You can also finely chop them by hand. Zest one orange. Set aside.

Whisk dry ingredients (flour & cornstarch) together and set aside.

Add egg, extracts/emulsions, zest and cranberries, and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Scrape down the paddle with a spatula, and then continue to mix on low speed for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is fully incorporated.

Add dry ingredients, all at once, and mix on low speed just until dough starts to come together and no dry bits remain. Do not overmix.

Turn dough out onto cling wrap, tightly wrap, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).

Knead, roll, cut out cookies, and return to fridge or freezer until firm. Leave a couple inches between cookies.

Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, rotate pan, and bake for another 1-5 minutes until edges are starting to turn golden brown.
