Recipe of the Month: Cranberry Filled Cookies
1 c. sugar 1 tbsp. lavender
¼ tsp. salt 1 tsp. cardamom, ground
4 c. fresh or frozen cranberries 2 pkg. pre-made sugar cookie dough
1 (3”) cinnamon stick
Combine cranberries, sugar, lavender, cardamom & cinnamon stick in a saucepan & bring
to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring. Reduce heat to low & simmer, covered, stirring
occasionally, until cranberries have burst, about 10 minutes. Remove & discard cinnamon
stick, then carefully transfer cranberry mixture to a blender & puree until smooth (use
caution when blending hot mixtures). Cool mixture in refrigerator until completely cold.
Roll out 1 log of cookie dough until 1/4” thickness is achieved consistently. Using a small
round cookie cutter, cut out dough & transfer to a baking sheet, leaving 1/2” space
between each cookie. Place 1-2 t of cranberry mixture in center of each cookie. Place
another piece of round dough on top of the mixture & pinch edges of cookie together. At
this point cookies may either be frozen to be baked at a later date, or bake in a 350*F oven
for 10-15 minutes or until a light golden brown.
