Time 50m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 orange, zested
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, and then gradually beat in the flour just until the mixture makes a soft dough. Stir in the pecans, rolled oats, and cranberries, and drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and the edges are slightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 1 minute on baking sheets before removing to wire racks to finish cooling. Glaze cookies while still a little warm.
  • Place the confectioners' sugar and orange juice in a microwave-safe bowl, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the orange zest and butter, and microwave on medium power until the butter melts and the mixture is warm, about 30 seconds. Stir the warm glaze until smooth, and drizzle over cookies.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscuits will be. Use fresh oranges and honey, and make sure the pecan pieces are fresh and not rancid.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise and keep their shape.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the glaze while the biscuits are baking: This will give the glaze time to cool and thicken slightly.
  • Brush the glaze on the biscuits while they are still warm: This will help the glaze soak into the biscuits and give them a beautiful sheen.

Conclusion:

These pecan biscuits with orange honey glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The biscuits are light and fluffy, with a slightly crunchy exterior. The orange honey glaze is sweet and tangy, and it perfectly complements the biscuits. If you are looking for a new biscuit recipe to try, I highly recommend this one.
