- Icing:
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, thawed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:
In a mixing bowl, beat sugars with butter until smooth. Beat in sour cream, orange juice concentrate, vanilla, and eggs.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and soda, and oats. Slowly stir into the first mixture, blending well. Stir in the dried cranberries and pecans, if using.
Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Chill the cookies for about 15 minutes before baking. Heat oven to 350°. Bake cookies for 10 to 14 minutes, until browned and set.
For icing, combine confectioners sugar with the melted butter and 3 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate. Add more juice, as needed to make a spreadable mixture. Spread a little of the icing on hot cookies.
Makes about 4 to 5 dozen drop cookies.
