These cookies are excellent. My only problem is it is hard to find the Cranberry-Orange Quick Bread Mix. I don't know if I can use the muffin mix or not. If anyone knows please tell me. The only note to myself when I last fixed these cookies was to make small balls and it helped to chill dough.
I love that these are easy, and they look beautiful. I wasn't wowed by the flavor though. They were a little plain.
These are absolutely delicious!! Great for cookie swap or anytime!
I've made these simple, tasty cookies for the last 3 years, everyone that tastes them falls in love. Try this recipe, you'll be glad that you did!
These are one of my regular 'must make' holiday cookies. Delicious.
To llee2, a constructive criticism is good, yours was too much and rude
I made this exactly as stated and used Pillsbury brand quick bread. They absolutely do not need 1/2 cup of butter. Even mixing the batter you can see it is too much. These have a good taste except for overly greasy. 1/4 cup of butter would be perfect and not affect the quality or flavor. I threw out the 2nd half of the dough b/c I felt like I was serving my husband a heart attack on a plate.
My favorite flavor combination is cranberry and orange so I had to make these cookies. Now that I've tried them they are probably my favorite cookie ever!! They are awesome.I have made them a few times and I have taken them to work. everyone loved them and I had to pass out the recipe. You have to make them! I used a krusteaz muffin mix because my grocery store didn't have the quick bread mix.
