Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

1 In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate and shortening over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

2 Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sugar and vanilla. Whisk in the eggs,one at a time.

3 In a large bowl, sift together the flour mixture, baking powder, and salt.

4 Stir the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Stir in the chocolate chips and cranberries. Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours.

5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

6 Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and then roll the balls in the confectioners’ sugar to coat. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheets that have been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. The cookies will spread during baking.

7 Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. The chocolate cranberry cookies will be soft; let them rest on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
