The ingredients are simple and it will take your only 10 minutes to prepare the dough.So let's start!

1 stick unsalted butter,room temperature
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp confectioner's sugar

- Cream the butter until creamy and smooth,about 2 to 3 minutes.Add the powdered sugar in several batches,beating until smooth after each addition.Add vanilla extract,almond extract,orange zest and dried cranberries.Mix just until well combined.
- In a separate bowl mix together flour,baking powder and salt.Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix gently until the dough comes together.I used my hand in here!
- From dough into 2 logs ,each about 1/1,2 inches in diameter,warp in parchment and refrigerate until firm(at least couple of hours)up to couple of days.I waited for one night.
- When you are ready to bake preheat the oven to 170 C.Remove parchment.Slice logs into 1/4 inch thick rounds and space about 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment. Bake until pale golden about 13-15 minutes.Let cool and enjoy!
