Thursday the tax office at Fort Leavenworth is having Open House and I will be making a couple of goodies for that. Since I sent the Chunky Applesauce Bundt Cake on Monday, I needed something to send today though. So yesterday afternoon I decided to make these quick Cranberry Orange Crispies. They are made with a muffin - quick bread mix. I made some quick cookies using this same mix last year that were really good, but a little more involved called Quick CranberryCookies.
I would have added a half cup of coconut to these, but I know Amanda doesn't like coconut. The cookie is fantastic just as it is, but if you like coconut, you might want to add 1/2 cup. I may have to make another batch just for us (after I go back to Aldi's and buy another box of the mix.)
CRANBERRY ORANGE CRISPIES
1 16 - oz Cranberry Orange Premium Muffin & Quick Bread Mix
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir with a wooden spoon til all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using a cookie scoop, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle tops with a little sugar.
Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
Remove immediately from pan and cool on wire rack.

I need to try this recipe because I love the taste of cranberries and oranges. I make and can a cranberry orange relish for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I use it as hostess gifts for holiday events with my church friends and family.
ReplyDeleteWould love your recipe for your relish, Marie. The orange is so strong in this mix. You can just smell it. I ate the last cookie last night so I need to make another batch. Good to hear from you!
