A classic flavor combination, these are the best cranberry cookies I've ever had! The orange icing makes them absolutely perfect! These go on our Holiday Cookie Trays every year. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 cup butter |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1 egg |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups chopped cranberries |
1/2 cup chopped nuts |
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
2 -3 tablespoons orange juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Cream together the butter and sugars. Add egg, orange peel, and orange juice, mix thoroughly.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients, mixing only until combined.
4. Stir in cranberries and nuts.
5. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, on a cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, and then cool on a rack about 30 minutes.
6. In a small bowl stir all icing ingredients until smooth. Frost cookies. I like to put the icing into a small ziploc bag, snip off the corner, and pipe spirals onto the cookies.
