Ingredients
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup margarine
- 1 orange, zested
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
- Beat sugar, margarine, orange zest, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl until blended. Stir in flour, applesauce, and cranberries until dough is well combined.
- Drop dough onto baking sheets by tablespoons, 2 inches apart; flatten slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Be careful not to over-bake or cookies will be hard, not soft and chewy.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft.
