Cranberry-Orange Oatmeal Cookies image

Delicious, delicate orange flavor! I love them, they're not too sweet and they're very satisfying. This recipe makes a BIG batch of cookies, and they'll stay fresh and moist for a long time. I hope you enjoy them. Originally taken from cookierecipes.com (with slight modifications).

Time 30m

Yield 48 cookies, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon Cointreau liqueur (or other orange flavored liquor)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup dried cranberries (Craisins work well)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla, orange zest and orange liquor. (NOTE: Use even more zest/liquor for a more intense orange flavor!).
  • Combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon; stir into the butter mixture.
  • Stir in the oats and cranberries. NOTE: the batter will be very thick and might be difficult to stir, but do your best!
  • Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
