The holidays brings us many of my favorite flavors – cranberries, oranges, and of course nuts. Today’s recipe uses almonds, but you could also make them with pecans or walnuts. It’s a pretty cookie and quite a hit with family and friends. If you want a taste of chocolate, drizzle melted white chocolate on top of the cooled cookies.

Owey gowey. Those cranberry organge cookies sound so yummy. I can imagine have 1 or 3 while drinking a cup of mint tea. 🙂 So yummy. Thanks for sharing with us Carol.
They are very popular in Finland too, perhaps for the abundance of cranberries. 😉
Thanks for sharing your excellent version with orange!
