Ingredients
  • About 1½ cups (¾ lb.) Challenge Butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 3¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups dried cranberries
  • 1½ cups sweetened flaked dried coconut

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1½ cups butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Beat in egg, until well blended.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat on low speed until dough comes together, about 5 minutes. The mixture may look dry until it comes together as a dough. If its too crumbly to form into balls, the dough need to be mixed longer; it should be a smooth homogeneous mass.
  4. Mix in cranberries and coconut.
  5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12" x 15" baking sheets.
  6. Bake in a 350°F regular or convection oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 11 to 15 minutes (shorter baking time will yield a chewier cookie; longer baking time will yield a crispier cookie). If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking.
  7. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely.
