ISO: ISO: your favorite holiday cookies that freeze well

[anna_x]

Huh, compare ingredients with Martha Stewart's recipe for coins

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
ðg 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
ðg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
ðg 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
ðg 1/2 teaspoon salt
ðg 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries

Why do you suppose there is so much more powdered sugar ( 3/4 cup in Martha's recipe) compared to 1/2 cup? More cranberries make the cookies tart-er?

Traca, I think this just moved to the top of my what else should make list - Thank you!

The textures will be different- the more powdered sugar, the "shorter" or more crumbly.
