Citrus Craisin Shortbread Cookies

 

I didn't have a recipe, but I knew the basic of how to make them - so I guess this is my version of a Citrus Craisin Shortbread Cookie

Recipe:

Start with the citrus, zest an orange and lemon.  Squeeze the juice of each and put in separate bowl.  Chop craisins into little chunks.  

1 Cup of butter

1 Cup of powdered sugar; cream together

add the chopped craisins and zests

mix well

add:

1 teaspoon vanilla

3-4 tablespoons of juice from orange and lemon 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

2 Cups of flour (1 Cup at a time)

mix together

roll dough into a log and refrigerate until hard enough to slice.

Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes. 

I had some left over melted chocolate, so I dipped the edge of each for fun.  You wouldn't have to do that.  However, if you like orange and chocolate together, you'll want to do this.  So good!
