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.
