• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Divide the dough until two pieces. Press them evenly into 2- 8 inch round cake pans. Then add the cranberries Bake for 11-12 minutes—until golden around the edges.

With a small sharp knife, score the shortbread into 8 wedges per pan.

Allow to cool in the pans another 10 minutes. .

In the bottom of a double boiler bring water to a simmer. In the top of a double boiler slowly melt the white chocolate chips.
