Cranberry Butter Cookies

The presence of dried fruits in these butter cookies creates a delicate but interesting bite and flavor. Dried cranberries, cherries, even blueberries add color and texture to an otherwise blank and rather dull canvas. Wouldn't you agree?

Cream softened butter and sugar until well combined, light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla extract, and continue beating thoroughly.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.

Bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges are browned and tops are still pale white but firm to touch.

This is a chance to make your well-thought opinion known.:-)
