Zubereitung von Orange Frosted Cranberry Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons orange zest, and 2 tablespoons orange juice until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove cookies from baking sheets and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
- While cookies cool, prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1-2 tablespoons orange juice until smooth and creamy. Add more orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once cookies are completely cool, frost and enjoy!
