• Cranberry Curd:
• 2 c Frozen Cranberries
• 1/4 c water
• Juice of 1 Orange
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Egg yolks
• 3/4 c Sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 Tbsp salted butter, softened
• Cookies:
• 1/2 c Salted Butter, softened
• 1/4 c + 2 Tbsp Canola Oil
• 3/4 c + 1 Tbsp Sugar
• 1 Tbsp Water
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2 3/4 c All-Purpose Flour

• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda

Instructions

• Cranberry Curd:
• In a medium saucepan, add cranberries, water and orange juice. Bring to a boil until cranberries stop to pop. Using a sieve or fine strainer, mash the cranberries and let juice drop back into the saucepan. (Keep smushing them and moving around and don't forget to get the sauce from the bottom of the sieve.) Let cranberry cool.
• In a separate bowl, whisk egg and egg yolks. Add in sugar, vanilla and continue to whisk until combined.
• Add eggs to cranberry mixture and mix until incorporated. Place saucepan over medium heat and whisk continually until sauce thickens (It will also thicken in the refrigerator).
• Once thick, remove from heat and slowly add the butter. Mix it until melted into the curd. Place in a mason jar, cover and chill for at least one hour.
• Cookie Cups:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium mixing bowl, cream together butter, oil, sugar, water, egg and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, mix together until combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, cream of tartar and lemon zest.
• Slowly add flour into wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Spray mini muffin tin pan with cooking spray. Use a tablespoon scoop to fill tin. Use the end of a wooden spoon and form an indentation in the middle of the dough to form the cups. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Form indentation once again and allow to cool before removing from the tins.
• Fill Cranberry Curd into cups and top with whipped topping.
