This is one of my kids favorite Christmas cookies. Cranberry Kringles.
Put 1 1/2 cup butter in the bowl of your mixer.
Add 2 cups of white sugar and grate 2 tablespoons of orange peel into the mix. Beat this until creamy.
Add 2 Tablespoons of vanilla extract. I use vanilla bean paste. Add 1 egg.
Beat this until creamy.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Put the paddle attachment on your mixer and beat in 3 1/4 cup flour.
Add 2 cups of dried cranberries.
Add 2 cups of shredded coconut.
The dough will look a bit shaggy.
Scoop them into small balls ...about 2 tablespoons.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. They should just be slightly browning on the edge. Do not overcook.
I doubled this recipe and it made about 85 cookies.
This is a very chewy cookie.
The tree is up.
Dec. 5th on the advent house.
The lights are on the tree and I am decorating it today. Right now I am baking the mincemeat tarts which I will show soon.
