Coconut Cranberry Chews Recipe Recipe For Shrimp

CRANBERRY-COCONUT CHEWS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1½ cups butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in egg, until well blended.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat on low speed until dough comes together, about 5 minutes (see notes). Mix in cranberries and coconut.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12" x 15" baking sheets.
• Bake in a 350°F regular or convection oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 11 to 15 minutes (shorter baking time will yield a chewier cookie; longer baking time will yield a crispier cookie). If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely.
• NOTES: The mixture may look dry until it comes together as a dough. If its too crumbly to form into balls, the dough need to be mixed longer; it should be a smooth homogeneous mass.

Steps:

CRANBERRY CHEWS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Grease a 10x 15-inch jelly-roll pan.
• In a large bowl, combine 2 c flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Use a pastry blender or 2 knives to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (or you can do this in a food processor using pulses).
• Stir in oats. Reserve 1 c mixture. Firmly press remainder over bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before filling.
• In a medium bowl, stir together cranberry sauce, marmalade and vanilla. Sift remaining 1/3 c flour over cranberry mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition. Spread evenly over baked and cooled crust. Add nuts to reserved oat mixture; sprinkle over top of cranberry filling.
• Bake about 30 minutes, or until lightly brown. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 64 (about 1 1/2 x 2-inch) bars, cutting 8 strips both ways. Store in airtight container at room temperature for 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
