I love the combination of cranberry and orange, so I thought they would be perfect in an oatmeal cookies. These cookies are fabulous. The orange really comes out and the sweet tartness from the dried cranberries is a perfect match.
Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Grated zest of 2 oranges
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the shortening and sugars. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and orange zest. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the creamed mixture, and beat until just blended. Stir in the dried cranberries.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on the pan about 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 24 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
