Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • Orange Sable Dough, room temperature
  • Chocolate Espresso Dough, room temperature

Directions

Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with plastic. In a large bowl, stir cranberries into orange-sable dough. In another large bowl, stir walnuts into chocolate-espresso dough.

Press orange mixture into bottom of pan. Using an offset spatula, smooth top evenly. Spread chocolate mixture over orange mixture and smooth evenly. Cover pan with plastic; chill at least 2 hours.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Unmold dough; remove plastic. Cut into 2-by-8-inch bricks; cut bricks into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices on sheets, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until firm to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

                They baked perfectly .  The espresso dough seemed much too dry and crumbly and I thought there should be an egg in it. But I made them as per the  recipe and after chilling overnight they were very easy to slice and bake.  A beautiful and delicious cookie! I will make them again.

                It seems like there should be an egg in the espresso. Is there a missing ingredient? I made the dough but haven't baked it and the espresso was very dry as others mentioned.

                First time making these cookies and I really like them.  Agree with other reviewers that the chocolate dough was too dry and crumbly.  When I make them next time I will try adding espresso liquid rather than the ground beans and see if that helps.

                I haven't made these yet, but wonder why there isn't any butter in the espresso layer. One reviewer mentioned that it was dry. Thanks!

                The directions need to be revised for ease.  The cookies themselves were great.  My chocolate-espresso dough seemed a little dry.  I made a note of it ,and I will adjust next time, if needed.

                I see the bake time, but it doesn't say what to do with the cranberries or the walnuts.  Good thing there is a picture though.

                I make these every year and they are really good.  Because they are shortbread like, you bake them just until they set up and feel a little firm, just before they start to brown.  This also makes a ton of cookies, good for a swap!
