Cranberry Thumbprint Cookie Recipe

Orange scented cookies are topped with a dollop of cranberry sauce in these festive Cranberry Thumbprint Cookies.

Oh, how I love December. A few nights ago, we went to a live Nativity that is put on here, and it really put me in the Christmas mood.

Oh yeah – and all of the baking has helped, as well. 🙂

Only in December can I make a new sweet every day and not feel guilty about it!!

I mentioned the other day that I have been a bit obsessed with cranberry and orange lately. Well, those flavors show themselves again today in these Cranberry Thumbprint Cookies. A sweet orange cookie is topped with some tart and sweet cranberry sauce for 2 bites that taste just like Christmas. Yep – it doesn’t get more festive than these little cookies!!

Every cookie needs a secret ingredient, and mine is Challenge butter. High quality butter, made from the best ingredients, including milk from cows that have not been treated with rbST. I truly believe that a quality ingredient like butter can really make a difference in your baking.
