Soft Cranberry and Orange Cookies
Soft cookies scented with orange zest and filled with chewy dried cranberries.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons orange zest about 1 large orange
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups Craisins I used reduced sugar
- ¼ cup turbinado sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the egg and mix well. The mixture may look curdled and that is okay.
- Add the flour and craisins and stir until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop (2 tablespoons), roll each piece of dough into a ball and roll it in the sugar. Place on your prepared baking sheet with about 1-½-inches between.
- Use the flat bottom of a glass to flatten the cookies to about ½-inch thick.
- Bake 9-11 minutes, until just set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
