Fluffy Cranberry-Orange Cookies

List of Ingredients




1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
4 tsp orange juice
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup whole wheat flour, sifted
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, sifted
1 cup mashed fresh cranberries



Recipe





Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix syrup, butter, eggs, and orange juice thoroughly. Add baking powder, salt, and flour and mix well. Stir in cranberries. Shape dough into small balls. Place on greased cookie sheet and flatten with bottom of a greased glass dipped in natural sugar. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Makes 5 dozen

NOTE: Sifting the two flours together before adding it to the mixture works well. Be careful not to sift the baking powder in with the flours! This does something to the baking powder which causes it not to work. After you add the cranberries, the dough will be a little pink, but after they come out of the oven they are normal. These cookies are not too sweet and they have a nice flavor. They cook up nice and light, a delicious snack.

Makes 5 dozen.
