My family loves the combination of orange and cranberry in these cookies. They don't last long at my house!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 c butter, softened
1 egg
3 Tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp orange extract
1 tsp grated orange zest
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c dried cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper or Silpat sheets.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Stir in the egg, orange juice, orange extract, and orange zest. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix into the orange mixture. Stir in the dried cranberries.
  • 3. Drop cookie dough by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • 4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are starting to brown. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 5. NOTE: The cookies spread quite a bit and were fairly thin. To compensate for that, when I make these again, I will probably use butter flavored Crisco. I used a small ice cream scoop and a double recipe made 44 - 2½" cookies.
