Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup butter unsalted, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon orange juice freshly squeezed
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh cranberries or frozen, chopped
Glaze
- 1 cups icing sugar
- 2 tablespoon orange juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of your mixer, add the butter and sugar and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg, orange zest, vanilla and orange juice and mix for 1 more minute until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda and salt to the mixer and mix on low until just combined. Fold in the chopped cranberries.
- Form Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out cookie balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are slightly golden. Do not over-bake.
- Cool: Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Make Glaze & Set: Whisk together the icing sugar and orange juice in a medium size bowl. Using a teaspoon, drizzle glaze over each cookie. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- If you want to skip the glaze, be my guest! I like the sweetness it adds to the cookie. It really compliments the flavors.
- Fresh or frozen cranberries and fresh oranges are a must in my opinion!
- Do not ever grease your cookie sheets. I always line them with parchment paper or a silpat and this way there’s no cleaning required afterwards.
- Make sure you DO NOT over bake your cookies. Keep in mind that they will continue to bake once you take them out of the oven.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to form your cookies perfectly.
- Store leftovers cookies in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to a week. If you have any leftover glaze, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week as well.
- To freeze them, store them in an airtight container for up to a month.
