Cranberry Orange Cookies

With just days before Christmas I am busy baking cookies and cooking side dishes for a trial run. These  Cranberry Orange Cookies turned out to be so amazing that they are not going to last until Christmas.  I am going to have to make a couple of more batches before the rest of the family arrives.  Mr. Flavor Mosaic normally won’t touch a dessert unless it has chocolate.  However, he loved these!

Adapted from AllRecipes.com, these soft, sweet, slightly tart, nutty cookies will be a favorite on your cookie tray too.  Actually, others on AllRecipes.com had recommended these cookies to me for a couple of years before I tried them.  I hesitated because I was afraid Mr. Flavor Mosaic would not like them since they were not chocolate.  Boy, was I wrong.  These cookies will be on my holiday baking list from now on.

Add these to your baking list!  I’m certain they will be come a holiday tradition!
