Cranberry Cookies

Step 2 Prep dough

Beat together:
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
(I used my Kitchenaid stand mixer, but a fork, wooden spoon, or whisk will do nicely)

Then mix and add:
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

This is a variation on a sugar cookie dough, meaning it will be reasonably thick.  Expect a consistency like a slightly greasy playdough.  (Of course, this dough is much tastier raw than playdough!)
