I remember the smell filling the entire house—sweet, citrusy, and a little bit tart. These cookies turned out to be my go-to treat for the season, a perfect companion for cozy evenings by the fire. The vibrant red of the cranberries against the bright orange zest makes them as beautiful as they are delicious. Every bite feels like a celebration of winter, making it a recipe I can’t wait to share with you.
