Frosted Cranberry Orange Drops (from Land O'Lakes)

Cookies:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup dried cranberries


Frosting:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 to 3 tablespoons orange juice


Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all cookie ingredients EXCEPT cranberries in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in cranberries by hand. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto lightly greased shiny cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until just the edges start to lightly brown. Cool completely.


Combine powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon butter in small mixer bowl. Beat at low speed until well mixed. Beat in enough orange juice for desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies.
