Cranberry-Orange Cookies

  At work last week, Lynn mentioned she loves Cranberry-Orange bread and I told her I had a recipe for it on my blog. This prompted Luda to challenge me to come up with a really good Cranberry-Orange cookie recipe and make them right away. So, I thought about it -- how to make it quick and easy, yet still unique. Here's the recipe, which everybody loved!

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 2-1/2 tbs frozen orange juice concentrate (I used pulp-free)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups all-purpose white flour
• 5 oz craisins

 
Preheat oven to 350⁰. Melt butter in a small sauce pan on stove top. While butter is melting, add frozen orange juice concentrate. Whisk butter and juice together once melted. Put brown and white sugars in a large mixing bowl, add melted butter/juice and mix together. Add eggs and mix again. Add baking soda, salt, flour and craisins and mix together until well-blended. Roll out dough into golf ball size portions and place on a nonstick or greased cookie sheet. Gently press down cookies into a disk. Place cookie sheet in oven and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before enjoying. This recipe will make about 18-20 cookies.
