Time 9h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c softened butter
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c fresh cranberries, finely chopped
1/2 c finely chopped walnuts (or pecans)
1 Tbsp grated orange zest
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, egg and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl occasionally.
  • 2. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • 3. In a small bowl, combine cranberries, walnuts and orange peel; set aside.
  • 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 10-inch square.
  • 5. Combine brown sugar and milk; spread over the dough then sprinkle with the cranberry mixture, leaving about a 1/2-inch edge at both ends of the dough.
  • 6. Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Wrap with waxed paper; chill several hours or overnight.
  • 7. Pre-heat oven to 375F. Coat cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray, or grease with shortening. Cut roll into 1/4-inch slices and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until edges are light brown.
  • 8. Cool on wire rack.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The cream cheese filling is the perfect complement to the tart cranberries.
