Eggless Cranberry Orange Cookies From Scratch

Unlike regular sugar cookies these Eggless Cranberry Orange Cookies are a healthy indulgence also if you are looking for an attractive and different flavor Cookies for the Upcoming Christmas Holidays then here you go. This is such a wonderful recipe with the goodness of dried cranberries , nuts , orange flavor and much more. Also Icebox cookies are an easy to make goodies in large batch which I prefer most, just grab the ingredients, roll together, when the dough is firm slice it and bake . The Pre made dough can be stored in the freezer fro several days before bake. Also bakes cookies stays fresh in an air tight container for several days.

Inspired From Tasteofhome

Yields – 2.25 Dozen Cookies as shown below

  • Lay one portion of cranberry dough top it with orange dough and then the cranberry dough.
  • Align them like triple-Decker bus as shown in picture , Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator, Cut each portion into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Place them 1 inch apart on a parchment placed cookie sheet or butter/oil greased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
  • Remove to wire racks until they turn firm and cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  1. The length and width should remain same as mentioned to cut 1/4 inch log, say if you rolled as 9 inch by 2.5 inches then cut log as 1/3 Inches each slice.
  2. I have used finely chopped Almonds and Cashews along with Cranberries.
  3. Instead of dried cranberries you can use Cherries or Tutti Frutti.
  4. When baking the cookies in batches, You can slice and refrigerate them till you bake.

Kids liked it with Hot Chocolate once they returned from school and few days it went in their School snack box 🙂
