Love this cookie...hope you do too! Not too sweet, and on the lines of a shortbread cookie. Love the tartness of the cranberries and crunch of the nuts. Chocolate chips could be added as well. My photos

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 c unsalted butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tsp each - vanilla, orange extract
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c coconut
1/2 c roughly chopped pistachios

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a bowl, sift the flour, soda and salt together. Set aside.
2. In a mixer bowl cream the butter with the sugars, Until nice and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and extracts.
4. Now, beat in the cream cheese, thoroughly blending. Mix in the dry ingredients. I then mix in the coconut.
5. By hand stir in the nuts, cranberries and coconut.
6. On an ungreased cookie sheet; you can either drop the cookies by a rounded tablespoonful. Or I rolled mine into a bit smaller than a golf ball size. I wanted mine to stay round and not spread out. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. ( I take mine out when they look a little doughy in the center.) They will not get brown. Keep a watch on them. Mine were done between 13 - 15 minutes. Leave set on sheets for a few minutes, before removing to rack to finish cooling.
7. I made an orange glaze out of butter,milk, orange extract and confectioners' sugar . I also sprinkled some with sugar as I took them from the oven. Enjoy!

Tips:

For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
To make the cookies more festive, add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter.
If you don't have coconut extract, you can use vanilla extract instead.
Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These cranberry coconut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and tangy flavor. The coconut adds a nice tropical touch, and the cranberries give them a festive holiday flair. Whether you are baking them for a party or just to enjoy as a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
