Grain + Df Cranberry Orange Shortbread Cookies!

The cranberries in these cute lil' cut-outs add a bit of tang to the classic slice and bake cookie. Keep in mind that this dough is very sticky and requires time to  freeze so you can handle it enough to form perfect little circles. Plan ahead! Its worth it though-these cookies are DIVINE!

They are nut free- thanks to Otto's Cassava flour!

Feel free to switch up the flavor and make them your own! The orange zest and cranberry are there strictly for the flavor. They can be left out if you wish. You can use any kind of zest, add nuts/seeds and just about any dried fruit or even fresh or dried herbs (like rosemary!). Have fun :) and let us know in the comments if you make any changes!
