How to Make Cranberry Orange Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats and ½ cup cranberry sauce.
  4. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and a pinch of orange zest until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
