Cookie Recipe

Many of you have been asking for the cookie recipe that I just posted....so here goes...

CRANBERRY NUT SWIRLS

These are a slightly fussy cookie....but are oh so good!

1/2 c softened butter

3/4 c sugar

1 egg

1 teas vanilla

1 1/2 c flour

1/4 teas baking powder

1/4 teas salt

Cream together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Combine the dry ingredients ( flour, salt and baking powder) and add to the creamed mixture.

Refrigerate for a least 1 hour.

1/2 cup finely ground cranberries

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

1 T grated orange peel

3 T brown sugar

2 T milk or orange juice ( I use orange juice)

Mix these ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside

On floured surface...roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread the cranberry mixture onto the

dough and roll up tightly. Wrap with wax paper and chill for several hours.

Cut into slices about 1/4" and bake on greased cookie sheet at 375 about 12 minutes.

Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar

2 T melted butter

2 to 3 T orange juice ( add enough so that glaze will drizzle over cookies)

Do not overbake . These cookies freeze well and taste even better after a day or two.
