My mom makes these for Christmas, but they are perfectly yummy year-round. The texture is soft and slightly crumbly, sort of a hybridized shortbread-cookie-scone. And cranberry-orange is one of my favorite flavor combos in sweets. Truly delicious!

What a tasty recipe! Definitely a step above your regular everyday cookie. I substituted melted butter for the oil and I only cooked it just until there was a golden edge... I am waiting for them to cool down and then I'll put a drizzle (icing sugar with a couple drops of water) I recommend this recipe!
