Kitchen Tea Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth cookie dough forms.

6. Fold in the finely chopped walnuts and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.

8. Gently press down on each ball of dough with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the cookies.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

10. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.

12. Serve these Kitchen Tea Cookies alongside your favorite hot beverage for a truly delightful treat that is sure to brighten your day.
