1
cup butter, softened
-
1/2
cup powdered sugar
-
1
teaspoon vanilla
-
2
cups all-purpose flour
-
1
cup finely chopped dried cranberries*
-
2
teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel

White, red, and green nonpareils
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar. Beat until combined, scraping bowl. Beat in vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in cranberries, lemon peel, and any remaining flour (use your hands to work in flour, if mixture seems crumbly).
2. Shape mixture into 1/2-, 3/4-,or 1-inch balls. Roll dough balls in nonpareils. Arrange balls 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes for about 1/2-inch balls, 13 minutes for 3/4-inch balls, or 15 minutes for 1-inch balls, or until bottoms of cookies are light brown. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
- Tip Place dried cranberries in a food processor. Cover and process until finely chopped. Or finely chop cranberries by hand.

Made these last year and my kids are begging me to make them again! They are great any time of year and that little bit of tarte add just a bit of kick... definitely one of my favorites :D

Just follow the directions exactly and all will be great :D Since i have lots of picky eaters in my family, i just omitted the last two ingredients (not the sugar you roll the cookies in, but the fruits) and added a small amount of almond extract.
