Cranberry Orange Cookies Recipes

CRANBERRY ORANGE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Chop up the cranberries in small pieces and place in a bowl. If you don't want to sweeten them, you can add them to the batter just like that. If you want to sweeten them a bit, add the orange juice and 2-4 Tbsp sugar to the chopped cranberries and mix. Set them aside while preparing the cookie dough.
• Cream together sugar and butter for 2-3 minutes. Add the pudding mix and beat the mixture for 1 more minute.
• Add the egg, vanilla and orange extract and mix for 2 more minutes. Add the sour cream and mix just until combined.
• In a separate bowl, add the salt and baking soda to the flour and mix to combine. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
• Stir in the cranberries and orange zest with a wooden spoon.
• Use a cookie scoop to scoop out tablespoonfuls of the dough and place them about 2 inches apart on a prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE COOKIES

Steps:

• Pulse the dried cranberries and granulated sugar in a food processor until the cranberries are finely ground and the sugar turns red. Add the flour, baking powder, orange zest, salt, allspice and cloves and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal.
• Combine the cranberry juice, food coloring and vanilla in a small bowl and add to the food processor along with the egg; pulse until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll heaping teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll the balls in sanding sugar and arrange about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until the cookies are just set on top and golden on the bottom, 18 to 24 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
