MAGGIES FROSTED CRANBERRY ORANGE COOKIES



Maggies Frosted Cranberry Orange Cookies image

This is a great little cookie that always reminds me of the holiday season. The combination or orange and cranberry are a natural. These are soft and they have a glaze or icing on top to help counter the tartness of the Craisins. Before I found Craisins I made these with fresh cranberries and they are delicious but they are...

Number Of Ingredients 16

WET INGREDIENTS
2/3 c butter - real butter for best flavor - at room temperature
3/4 c granulated white sugar
1 egg
1/2 c orange juice .. fresh is best
1 Tbsp orange rind ... fresh is best
DRY INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp finely diced craisins
2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp each of baking soda, baking powder and salt
GLAZE/ICING
2 Tbsp butter - melted
1-1/2 c powdered sugar
2 tsp grated orange peel - fresh is best
2 tsp finely diced craisins
2 - 4 Tbsp orange juice - fresh is best

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400*
  • 2. In medium bowl mix butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add sugar and mix until very well incorporated. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Add orange juice and orange rind and incorporate well.
  • 3. In small bowl mix together all dry ingredients and stir together. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just to blend. Do not overmix.
  • 4. This cookie dough will be very soft. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto parchment or silpat lined baking sheet about 1" apart. Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
  • 5. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes then remove to a cooling rack.
  • 6. Once the cookies are cooled mix up the sweet topping. Mix together the melted butter, orange peel, craisins and powdered sugar. Slowly add orange juice a little bit at a time until you get the consistency you are looking for. You can do a glaze or leave it thicker and spread it on like icing.
  • 7. Frost or glaze the cookies and let them set up. Store in a covered container.
  • 8. NOTES: I love to use my Ulu for finely dicing the craisins for this recipe. The smaller you can get them the better. These cookies are soft and have a really nice orange flavor. If you desire a stronger orange flavor either add more zest or use some orange extract.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cookies have a vibrant orange flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest.
  • If you don't have dried cranberries, you can use chopped dried cherries or raisins instead.
  • For a sweeter cookie, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the dough.
  • If you want a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, make sure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting them.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Orange Frosted Cranberry Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their bright orange flavor and sweet frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
