Picturing XXX Cranberry Cookies

Here's the recipe for my XXX Cranberry Cookies in process.

Combine the wet ingredients. Cook the cranberries, milk, orange juice, orange zest, and sugar over medium high heat. You'll actually hear the cranberries pop. Smoosh everything around until it forms a red pulp. Add the vanilla extract after the mixture has cooled a little.

Cream the creamables. Butter and dark brown sugar. Easy-peasy.

Add the wet ingredients to the creamables. Mmmm...pretty in pink.

Grind the Nilla Wafers, halve the fresh cranberries, and combine the dry ingredients.

Add the dry ingredients to the combined creamables and wet ingredients.

Scoop, sugar, and bake the cookies. These really do have a great play on sweet and tart, crunchy and moist, rich and bright. Just right to cap off your Thanksgiving meal!

i don't think i've ever seen fresh cranberries in my life... but i have eaten them in your awesome, crack-filled cookie!

i'm savoring them and checking my padlock to make sure p dubs doesn't come crashing through the door to steal my stash.

Yummy! These are great, though I'm hoping to have a good outcome by swapping out more halved fresh cranberries for the dried. The dried ones I had on hand were old an really overly sweet. Wish me luck :)

I'got to thank Anna for pointing her readers here. I love oatmeal cookies and can't wait to try other variations. I think eggnog is next!

Hi, Kate. Thanks! I'm sure that replacing some of the dried cranberries with fresh will work out fine.

And thanks for stopping by! :-)
