Crazy for Cranberries

Tis the season of pumkin pies and Cranberry sauce. If you are like me and don't like the traditional Cranberry relish or pumpkin pie, try this YUMMY alternative.

Orange-Cranberry Spice Cookies

1 17.5 ounce sugar cookie mix, or your favorite sugar cookie recipe
1 stick butter melted
1 egg
1 tbsp orange zest
¼ cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 tsp Wildtree Cranberry Spice Blend
¼ cup fresh orange juice, from the orange you zested
1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375°. Zest the orange first and set aside. In a bowl combine the dried cranberries and the Cranberry Spice Blend. Pour orange juice over both and stir to combine. Allow to sit about 5 minutes, until cranberries soften a little. In a mixing bowl stir together the cookie mix, butter and egg and the orange zest. Add the rehydrated cranberry mixture. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Back for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool. In a microwave melt the white chocolate chips, stirring constantly, about every 10 seconds or so. Drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies. Store in an airtight container.

ENJOY!
