Ingredients
- 1 flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp water)
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 cup + 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3-1/2 cup dried cranberries, plus more for topping
Orange Glaze
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp orange zest
- 1-2 tsp fresh orange juice (I used a Cara Cara orange)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, make the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In the bowl with the flax egg, add the melted vegan butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and orange zest. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the wet to the dry. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Careful not to overmix! Fold in the dried cranberries. Using a cookie scoop (mine is 1.5 tablespoons), drop dough onto baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Drizzle on top of cookies. Let it stand for a few minutes so the glaze can set. Enjoy!
