CRANBERRY TEA COOKIES
I usually have to make a double batch of these delicate cookies because they disappear so fast. They make a great hostess gift and look gorgeous set out on a silver platter. I use real butter for the best flavor.-Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 8-10 minutes or until liquid is almost absorbed, stirring occasionally. Cool completely., Preheat oven to 325°. On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough to a 10-in. square. Cut each into twenty-five 2-in. squares. Place 1 teaspoon cranberry mixture in center of each square. Bring two opposite corners of each square to the center; pinch firmly to seal. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. , Bake 18-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
