Delicious Cookie
Received Vitamix from my husband as an anniversary gift...I love to cook! Mostly made smoothies and soups but was anxious to try some holiday recipes. The dough seemed a little loose after mixing the wet and dry ingredients, so I added the zest of the orange, 1/2 to 2/3 cup of chopped pecans, and 1/2 to 2/3 cup of dried cranberries. I increased the cooking time to 13 minutes. The cookies came out delicious! It is a soft cookie, not crispy. Will definitely make again, perhaps changing the 1 teaspoon of vanilla for 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon orange oil for more of an “orange” punch!
