Frosted Orange and Cranberry Cookies
Cookies:
1 box yellow cake mix (I like Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mix)
1/2 c. butter, room temperature
1 egg
Generous 1/4 c. sour cream
2 T. orange juice
1 t. orange extract
2 t. orange zest
1 c. coarsely chopped dried cranberries
1/2 – 1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans
Mix all ingredients together. Drop by heaping tablespoons (I like to use a medium sized
ice cream scoop — six scoops per sheet) onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. You just have to watch them — I take them out when
they are still underdone in the center and I leave them on the cookie sheets for a few minutes
to keep cooking. When cool, frost.
Frosting:
2 c. powdered sugar
dash salt
2 T. butter, melted
2 t. orange zest
3 – 4 T. orange juice
Mix all together.
