Cranberry Orange Cookies
Description
These cookies feature a creamed mixture of butter, white sugar, and brown sugar combined with egg and concentrated orange juice for a bright flavor. Dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are blended gently into the batter, preserving tenderness.
Chopped fresh or frozen cranberries bring tartness, complemented by the crunchy texture of chopped pecans. The dough is portioned by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets and baked at 375 degrees F until just lightly browned, resulting in soft cookies with a slightly crisp edge.
The result is a cookie with fresh cranberry flavor and a hint of citrus that pairs well with tea or coffee and makes for a festive treat during the holiday season.
