Delicious Orange Cranberry Cashew cookies made with Whole wheat flour, utilmate combo of orange and cranberries in cookie form.
If you are looking for delicious and easy cookies then try this Orange cranberry Cashew Cookies. Made with few ingredients taste great with curnch of cashewnuts and orange flavor.
Yes cranberries and oranges make wonderful combo, and for me they indicate Thanksgiving. Ginger and other spices makes Christmas. During winter months here in Texas, we get lots of good sweet oranges, which we buy in bulk and extract juice which is really sweet compared to store bought tangy ones. It is full of pulp too and healthy and rich in vitamin C. I was not planning to make cookie in November, but when I saw this recipe in King Arthur flour baking blog, I couldn’t resist, and decided to make This Orange Cranberry Cashew Cookies .
My little princess loves to eat cashew nuts as her snack in between meals, but the last time when we bought a bulk from an Indian store, as it was slightly cheaper than the other stores, but turned out to be of lower quality. Not good for eating as such as a snack, and it needs some dressing up. So when I want to make these cookies I added some into the cookies too.
How to make this Orange Cranberry Cashew Cookies?
Flour: You can use whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour.
Butter: I like to use unsalted butter in my dishes you can use salted butter then you reduce the amount of salt in the recipe.
Cranberries : Make sure to chopp the cranberries if you leave them as suce it will plum up little while baking.
Eggs: you only need half egg to make this cookies, you can skip that and add applesuace instead of eggs.
Orange juice and orange zest : Use fresh orange to extract the juice as they tend to be sweet than the store bought one.
Cashew nuts : If you are not a cashewnut person you can add your favorite nuts.
Adding cashew nuts gave a crunch while biting a piece. Tart and sweetness of cranberries give a nice flavor; it is slightly hard not a very soft one. If you want a soft cookie try to use one whole egg and increase amount of orange juice to ¼ cup. I rolled the cookies in turbinado sugar, which gave perfect sweetness of finished cookie.

Delicious Orange Cranberry Cashew cookies made with Whole wheat flour, utilmate combo of orange and cranberries in cookie form.
Servings: 15 servings
Calories: 161kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup White whole wheat flour: I used King Arthur flour
- ⅓ cup Unsalted butter
- ½ cup White sugar
- ½ Egg
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoon Orange juice
- 1 cup Chopped cranberries
- ½ cup Cashew nuts:
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- ¼ cup Turbinado sugar for spreading on the top of cookies
Instructions
- Pre- heat oven to 375 F and line the baking sheet with a parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl sift together whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- In the bowl of kitchen aid stand mixer cream sugar and butter well until everything gets incorporated well.
- Then add half of egg and orange juice and beat once to combine well. To this gradually add dry ingredients and mix everything.
- Finally gently fold in chopped cashew nuts and cranberries and mix everything so that every part of dough gets both nuts and cranberries and set aside.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Dip one side and press firmly in a bowl of coarse sugar if you want (you can also use granulated sugar instead), and place sugar-side up on baking sheet, evenly-spaced apart. Flatten with bottom of glass to 1 ½-inch circles. Leave a couple of inches, about 5 cm, between cookies since they’ll spread while baking.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned (DO NOT OVERBAKE.) Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
- Enjoy as much you wish.
