MINI THANKSGIVING DESSERT RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Chop the chocolate if using bars. Coarsely chop the cranberries, and chop the pecans if pieces are large. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
• Combine the butter, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
• Gradually add the flour with the mixer on low, beating until almost combined. Add the chocolate, cranberries, and pecans and mix until just combined.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide in half. Shape each half into a log about 9 inches long. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour, or up to a few days.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with butter.
• Cut the logs into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange slices on the prepared baking sheets about 1/2-inch apart.
• Bake the cookies on upper-middle and lower-middle racks of oven, switching pan positions halfway through cook time, until barely starting to brown at edges and set in middle, 13-15 minutes.
• Check to see that cookies are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
• Transfer baking sheets to a cooling rack. Serve cookies warm or at room temperature.
