From Joan’s kitchen
1/4 c Butter or margarine
3/4 c Brown sugar
1 Large egg
1 ts Vanilla
1 tb Orange zest
Pinch salt
1 1/2 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 c Chopped walnuts
3/4 c Chopped cranberries
Fresh or frozen
Beat butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, orange zest and salt until fluffy.
Stir in flour and baking soda. Fold in nuts and cranberries. Drop by
rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake
375 for 10 to 12 minutes or light golden. Remove from rack to cool.
Store airtight. Note: I have made these into apple cookies by
substituting 1 small peeled and chopped apple for the cranberries.
