Cranberry Orange Pecan Snickerdoodles are perfect cookies to add to your fall baking list.cranberry, orange, pecan, snickerdoodles, cookies, fall baking

 

The local grocery stores have  started stocking fresh cranberries so I am taking advantage of it and creating  cranberry recipes.

These delicious cookies are made by starting with a basic snickerdoodle recipe.  I added fresh cranberries, orange zest, and pecans to the dough. After they are baked, dip in melted white chocolate and allow the chocolate to harden.

My husband and I really only started eating cranberries about 3 years ago.  I always throw a few bags in the freezer to use during the year when I cannot get them.

They are delicious in Turkey Meatloaf and make it extra moist.  I also make a cranberry sauce that we eat on turkey paninis, club sandwiches, and we love them in stuffing.  The desserts are endless they can be used in.

What are some ways you use fresh cranberries?  I would love more ideas..

Here is how I made these cookies and the recipe

  1. Those cookies look yummy. I am not a big fan of cranberries and didn’t like them at all until about 5 years ago when I first cooked them from scratch and didn’t serve them from a can! Oh my! Such a difference. I will have to try out your cookies. Cranberries are supposed to be a super food so that makes the cookies healthy, right?!

    1. Thank you. I agree that the fresh cranberries are much better than the can. I use the Snickerdoodles recipe often and do add ins. Dried blueberries are great.

  2. Great cookie idea! Since we love cranberry-orange scones these will be fun to try. Looking forward to your next cranberry post 🙂

    1. Thank you. It will be holiday baking time before we know it. I have a stack of cookie recipes from others to try this year also.

  3. I discovered an easy cranberry sauce recipe that I use every Thanksgiving. Other than that, the grandkids and I string them with popcorn to feed the birds!

    1. Thank you Krista. The cranberries in the meatloaf makes it moist and gives a little tangy taste. I don’t even remember why I started using them in it…must have seen it in a magazine or on TV.
