Christmas Cranberry Cookie Squares

"A soft buttery cookie, laced with orange zest, filled with dried cranberries, cherries and a bit of candied ginger. I have a thing for candied ginger. I find its heat incredibly addictive. This is an impressive cookie. Don't let it intimate you. It's easier than it looks. Be creative – add nuts and switch up the fruit. I’m thinking pecans and raisins would be divine – maybe skip the orange zest in the dough. Candied peel, apricots, dates… possibilities are endless."
