How to Make Cranberry Cashew Jumbles

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Stir in ½ cup sour cream.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in 1 cup chopped cashews and 1 cup dried cranberries by hand.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of orange juice until smooth. Add more orange juice, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
  12. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the orange glaze over them.
