Cranberry Orange Cookies image

A nice thing to have around during the holidays, but don't expect them to stay around long. These orange-flavored cranberry cookies are tart and delicious, not to mention beautiful. Not really a favorite of kids.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg

2 tablespoons orange juice
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
