Start by adding your flour and butter into a bowl. You will want to work the doug hand break it up until it forms small pea size crumbles.

Now you will stir in cottage cheese, orange zest, and cranberries.

Once your cookie dough is mixed, roll into a ball and place in the fridge for up to an hour.

Now preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line your baking sheet with a silicone mat or grease the pan.

Roll out your dough to 1/8 inch thick. Then use a 2 - 2 1/4 inch cookie cutter.

Place cookies on pan and bake 12-15 minutes.

Once done remove and place on a cooling rack.

When your cookies are fully cooled, you can add your powdered sugar, orange extract, butter, and cream cheese in a bowl. Whisk until fully creamy. Then drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cookies.

Store your cranberry orange cookies in the refrigerator.
