Fluffy Cranberry-Orange Cookies

By Hklbrries

Sifting the two flours together before adding it to the mixture works well. BE CAREFUL not to sift the baking powder in with the flours!! This does something to the baking powder which causes it not to work. After you add the cranberries the dough will be a little pink, but after they come out of the oven they are normal. These cookies are not too sweet and they have a nice flavor. They cook up nice and light, a delicious snack.
