Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (8-ounce) log cranberry orange goat cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cups organic 100% whole wheat pastry flour
- 24 fresh or frozen cranberries
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, beat sugar, butter and goat cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Beat in egg until well combined, and then beat in flour.
Roll about 2 tablespoons of dough into balls and arrange 2 inches apart on a large, parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.
Use a fork dipped in water to flatten each cookie. Press a cranberry into the top of each.
Bake until just firm and deep golden brown on the bottoms, about 15 minutes. (To make 4 dozen smaller cookies, use about 1 tablespoon dough for each, and bake 12 to 13 minutes.)
