And this delicious low carb Cranberry Orange cookie is easy and perfect for sharing. You can freeze the dough ahead of time so it\u2019s ready whenever you need it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unsweetened dried cranberries are tough to find but some places do carry the freeze dried kind, which work well for this. Trader Joe\u2019s and Amazon are good places to get them. You can also make your own using my recipe found <a href=\"https:\/\/alldayidreamaboutfood.com\/stocking-your-low-carb-pantry\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But if you really can\u2019t find them and don\u2019t want to make your own, sub in 1\/2 cup of finely chopped fresh cranberries. Whether they are fresh or dried, chopping the cranberries is important to being able to slice the shortbread more easily!<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-443\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-48104\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"b0e7bf193d\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_48104_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(48104, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.8, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
