Agree, these look better than the lemon ones, and I think orange w/ cranberry is a better combination anyway. Why'd you increase the sugar so much? I might have tried a little drizzle of icing or some confectioner's sugar on top instead.

The sugar was the amount in the recipe I found. It DID call for icing, but I'm trying to make these as healthy as possible.

You can try, Ricky. lol! I thought you had just started tweaking the other recipe!

Nope. Two different recipes from two different web searches. I modified the first one, but this one was baked as I found it with the exception of the glaze. And they do taste better than the first one.

By "healthy", what do you mean? less fat? less sugar? more nutritional? Is this one of those cookie batches that requires the special butter? ;^) if not, I'd find a recipe with less butter and sugar for a start toward "healthy"... try a simple meringue cookie. :O)

Yes, these are made with cannabutter. All the ingredients are organic. My usual medible is mint chocolate with twice the sugar. This has a bit less sugar, less eggs, one less stick of butter, and it adds both cranberries and orange for some anti-oxidants. Is it twice as healthy as the mint chocolate? Nah, but it's gotta be a bit better, at least in my mind.

Oh, those are pretty, Ricky. I like the combination of orange and cranberry, it's very.....Christmas-y, if that's a word.

Annie, Christmas-y is definitely a word. :)

Ricky, how about adding walnuts to these cookies then? walnuts are very healthy and they go great with cranberry/orange!

The original recipe mentions walnuts as an option. I love to eat nuts out of the can, but not out of my cookies. I'm making another batch today with white chocolate chips and orange glaze to take to a party. Obviously, non-medicated.
