Orange Cranberry Cravin’ Cookies are a version of the original recipe. My great grandmother flavored her oatmeal cookies with orange.
I kept the cranberries, but you could substitute raisins. Store in the refrigerator as they do get soft quickly.
Orange Cranberry Cravin' Cookies
This is a variation of the original cravin' cookie recipe. My mom used to make oatmeal cookies with orange zest. It was a recipe her grandmother used to make. After making this recipe a lot for our family, I thought why not switch it up. It was hit.
