Step 1

Preheat oven 350 degrees. With a mixer, beat the eggs with sugar until slightly thickened and light in color about 5 to 7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leveling agent in this recipe, so don’t skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.

Step 2

Add the soft butter and vanilla, mix two more minutes. Stirring the flower until just combined. Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.

Step 3

Use a 2 tablespoon scoop or a spoon to portion out the cookie dough onto parchment lined baking sheet. Place only six cookies on the baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 18 minutes, until the cookies have puffed up and turned golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for at least five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 5

To glaze the cookies, stir together, the powdered sugar and the lemon juice. It should drizzle off the spoon in a thick white stream. Lightly drizzle the cookies and allow them to fully set before storing.
