Tonight's dessert: cranberry/orange oatmeal cookies

[MissMillie]

Not from scratch. I used the Betty Crocker envelope of cookie dough mix.

In place of the 1 tbsp of water, I used 1 tbsp of orange juice (freshly squeezed)

I added the zest of one orange and 2.5 oz of sweetened dried cranberries.


They're quite tasty. I think next time if I have the option, I won't use "sweetened" dried cranberries. The cookies were sweet enough.

1. yum!

I love to bake but don't eat the stuff this morning I cleaned the fridge and used homemade applesauce to make 'Applesauce Bundt Cake' ...now I'm trying to get rid of it

I put it out there on our local daily social forum... waiting for someone to snatch it

2. It looks wonderful

My guy has a serious sweet tooth. It wouldn't last in this house.

5. yum

good idea, MissMillie. Gonna' try that as soon as I can get the cookie mix. (Way too lazy to make anything from scratch.) I use those cookie mixes to make chocolate chip and snickerdoodles. E-Z.

6. I want to find a way

to make pumpkin/cranberry oatmeal cookies. It's pumpkin time of year, after all.

It seems to me that if I add pureed pumpkin, I would need to increase flour and/or oatmeal to be sure to get the right batter texture.
