Ingredients
  • 1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1¼ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour, sifted
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, chopped
  • 4 ounces white baking chocolate
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F with a rack in the center.
  2. In a large bowl, combine room temperature butter, sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, sifted flour, and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined. The dough will be thick, but should not be worked until too creamy.
  3. Gently fold in dried cranberries and chopped white chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
  4. Generously flour a rolling mat and rolling pin. Roll about ⅓ of the dough out on the mat at a time. Roll as close to a square or rectangle shape as possible, until the shortbread dough is about ¼ inch thick. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into a rectangle/square, then cut the large rectangle/square into pieces about 2" x 3."
  5. Place cut shortbread on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  6. When cookies are cool, transfer them onto a piece of parchment paper, leaving a few inches of a border on each side of the paper to avoid chocolate splatter. Melt white chocolate baking squares (I use 1 ounce at a time) according to package instructions. Dip the tines of a fork into the white chocolate, then quickly move the fork a few inches above the cookies, creating a drizzle effect. Repeat process until all cookies are drizzled with white chocolate. If you do not want to use the fork method, you can alternatively use a piping bag for the white chocolate.
  7. Allow white chocolate to harden completely before packaging or serving. You can speed up the process by placing the cookies in the refrigerator briefly. Enjoy!
