Cooking Instructions

step 1

Sift All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 cups) and stir in Sea Salt (1/2 tsp). Keep aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat Butter (8 oz) and Brown Sugar (1/3 cup) at medium speed until creamy. Add in Vanilla Extract (1/4 tsp), Lemons (2) and Lemon (1) and beat until well combined.

Gradually add in the flour mixture at low speed until combined. Fold in the Dried Cranberries (2/3 cup).

Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
