Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients
About 1 1/2 cups (3/4 lb.) butter or margarine, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked dried coconut

Steps:

  • Preparation 1. In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1 1/2 cups butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth. 2. 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. Mix in cranberries and coconut. 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets. 4. Bake in a 350° regular or convection oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 8 to 11 minutes (shorter baking time will yield a chewier cookie; longer baking time will yield a crispier cookie).

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups butter at room temp
2 cups sugar
1 TB orange zest
2 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
3 1/4 cups unbleached flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups each dried cranberries and coconut

Steps:

  • Cream butter, sugar, zest and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Beat in egg until well blended. Set aside. In medium bowl, mix flour, bp and salt. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat on low until dough comes together, about 5 minutes. (If too crumbly to form into balls, the dough needs to be mixed longer.) Mix in cranberries and coconut. Shape into 1" balls and place about 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 11-15 minutes or til edges just begin to brown. Shorter time yields a chewy cookie; longer yields a crisper cookie.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they will need to be thawed before using.
  • If you don't have coconut flakes, you can use shredded coconut instead.
  • These chews can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a fun holiday treat, decorate the chews with melted chocolate or sprinkles.
  • These chews are also a great source of fiber and antioxidants.
