Cranberry Citrus Cookies

I found a cookie on the grocery store shelves that has become a favorite in the past few years...a combination of lemon and cranberries and a little crunch. Here's my copykat version...a little different but with the same flavours.


  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (icing sugar)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped dried cranberries
  1. Combine granulated sugar, icing sugar, butter and shortening in mixing bowl.  Beat.
  2. Add egg and vanilla. 
  3. Beat at high speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Add flour, baking soda, lemon zest and salt.
  5. Beat on low speed until soft dough forms.
  6. Stir in cranberries.
  7. Chill until firm.
  8. Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls and place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  9. Flatten balls with bottom of drinking glasses.  Dip glass into granulated sugar to prevent sticking.
  10. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until edges begin to brown.
  11. Yield: 3 1/2 dozen cookies
