Goodbye 2016! I had to get one last post in before this year was over! I made these cookies with all of my Christmas cookies this year. I was really happy with how they came out. They're chewy and packed with fresh orange zest. They just scream Florida Christmas! I chopped up my dried cranberries because I bought mine at Trader Joe's and they were really big and fresh.
Orange Cranberry Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, room temp
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- the zest and juice from 1 ripe orange (about 1/4 cup of juice)
- 2 and 1/2 cups of flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of dried cranberries
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set that aside. Whip the butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the sugars and continue to whip. Once fluffy and completely combined, add in the egg, vanilla, orange zest, and juice. Once completely combined, add the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix well and then fold in cranberries. Scoop tablespoon cookies on to a greased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring from the baking sheet.
