Orange Cranberry Cookies

We made "santa" cookies today and they turned out so divine I had to share the recipe!

Ingredients:
1 cup organic butter, softened
1 cup organic cane sugar
1/2 cup organic brown sugar
1 organic egg
3 teaspoons orange zest
3 tablespoons organic orange juice
1 cup organic stone ground  wholewheat flour
1 1/2 cups organic oat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups dried organic cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts

topping (optional)
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/2 cups of organic powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 375
In a mixer, cream butter and sugar. Then add beaten egg, orange zest, orange juice and blend. Gradually add in flours, baking soda, cranberries and nuts. The mixture will be runny and not firm.
Drop small spoonfuls onto cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool.
Mix the orange zest, orange juice, and powder sugar in small bowl.
Drizzle or cover the cookies in the topping.

The left are without topping, the right have it. I am sooo in love with my Man Pans cookie sheet!! If you have leftover holiday money, you should totally get one!
