MAGGIES FROSTED CRANBERRY ORANGE COOKIES
This is a great little cookie that always reminds me of the holiday season. The combination or orange and cranberry are a natural.

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.
