1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor combine the flour, sugars, salt, baking soda and butter. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture resembles finely grated cheese. Add the orange zest, juice and the egg. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture is just combined. Remove to a bowl and stir in the diced orange and cranberries.
