Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Beat butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add flour and salt; stir just until combined. Stir in dried cranberries. Divide dough into quarters.
  • On parchment, shape each portion into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 4 inches long. Wrap logs tightly in parchment or plastic. Chill 30 minutes or up to 1 day. (Dough can be wrapped tightly in plastic and frozen up to 1 month.)
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. With a sharp knife, slice dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Rotate log as you cut to keep it from flattening. Place rounds on parchment-lined baking sheets, 1 inch apart.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges just begin to turn golden, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup dried cranberries
boiling water, for soaking cranberries
2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
8 tablespoons Private Selection® Salted French Butter, cubed and chilled
2 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream, plus 2 tablespoons, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 large egg
1 tablespoon cream
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

  • Rehydrate the cranberries by placing them in a small bowl and covering with boiling water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, until plump, then drain and spread out on a paper towel to dry.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Use a pastry cutter (or your fingers) to incorporate the Private Selection® Salted French Butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently fold in the cranberries.
  • In a medium bowl or measuring cup, beat the eggs, then add the heavy cream, vanilla, and orange zest and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula to combine; do not overmix.
  • Place a sheet of parchment on your work surface and lightly dust with flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured parchment and pat into a circle about 7 inches in diameter. Lift the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and refrigerate the dough round uncovered for at least 20 minutes, up to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)
  • Use a floured bench scraper to cut the dough round into 8 wedges. Separate the wedges and carefully space evenly on the baking sheet.
  • Make the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Brush each scone generously with the egg wash.
  • Bake the scones for about 20 minutes, until they are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Make the orange drizzle: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth. Either transfer to a piping bag and snip off the corner or use a spoon to drizzle the glaze back and forth over the scones.
  • Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup white flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 teaspoons orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • In a medium bowl cream butter, brown sugar, egg, peel, baking powder and allspice.
  • Blend in flour and stir in oats and cranberry sauce.
  • Drop batter from a teaspoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until light brown.
  • Cool on racks and drizzle glaze over cookies.
  • Whip together glaze ingredients and drizzle from a spoon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Be sure to finely chop the orange zest. This will help to distribute the flavor throughout the coins.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the coins tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the coins from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the coins until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the coins cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Orange Coins are a delicious and festive holiday treat. They are perfect for Christmas cookie exchanges, holiday parties, or simply enjoying at home with your family.
