Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients
About 1 1/2 cups (3/4 lb.) butter or margarine, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked dried coconut

Steps:

  • Preparation 1. In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1 1/2 cups butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth. 2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat on low speed until dough comes together, about 5 minutes. Mix in cranberries and coconut. 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12- by 15-inch baking sheets. 4. Bake in a 350° regular or convection oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 8 to 11 minutes (shorter baking time will yield a chewier cookie; longer baking time will yield a crispier cookie).

The most delicious cookies I have ever tasted! The coconut and orange zest make this the perfect special holiday cookie! I saw this recipe in an advertisment for Challenge Butter and I wanted to try a new cookie for the holidays...out of about a dozen different types of cookies I bake each year, these were and are the BEST! And you don't have to make them very big, they make great bite size treats as well! *Recipe developed by Sunset Magazine Test Kitchens for Baking with Challenge Butter.www.sunsetmagazine.com

Time 37m

Yield 6 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups butter, at room temperature (tested using Challenge Butter)
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 large egg
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked dried coconut

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1½ cups butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in egg, until well blended.
  • In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat on low speed until dough comes together, about 5 minutes (see notes). Mix in cranberries and coconut.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12" x 15" baking sheets.
  • Bake in a 350°F regular or convection oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 11 to 15 minutes (shorter baking time will yield a chewier cookie; longer baking time will yield a crispier cookie). If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • NOTES: The mixture may look dry until it comes together as a dough. If its too crumbly to form into balls, the dough need to be mixed longer; it should be a smooth homogeneous mass.
