Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Use a whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients before adding the cold cubed unsalted butter.
- Mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles wet sand, with small clumps forming.
- Gently fold in the chopped fresh cranberries and orange zest into the dough. Use your hands to knead the mixture lightly until a cohesive ball forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Roll the dough into a 4x12-inch rectangle between two sheets of parchment paper. Slide onto a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Remove dough from the freezer and slice into 24 equal sticks. Arrange on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth, then drizzle over cookies.

Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing and chill the dough to maintain cookie shape.
