Hi, I have a recipe for Frosted Orange & Cranberry Cookies, not sure if it's what your after, you could easily leave the cranberries out if you prefer, I've not tried them but a friend gave me the recipe from a Xmas cookbook and says they are fab!!! the recipe makes 4 dozen cookies:

Frosted Orange & Cranberry Cookies (makes 48)

• 225g butter, softened
• 200g caster sugar
• 100g dark brown soft sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 300g flour
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 225g chopped cranberries
• Icing:
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• 3 tablespoons orange juice
• 200g icing sugar

method

1. Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 4.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg until well blended. Mix in 1 teaspoon orange zest and 2 tablespoons orange juice. Combine the flour, bicarb and salt; stir into the orange mixture. Mix in cranberries until evenly distributed. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking trays. Cookies should be spaced at least 5cm apart.
3. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are golden. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
4. For the icing: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon orange zest, 3 tablespoons orange juice and icing sugar until smooth. Spread over the tops of cooled cookies. Let stand until set.
