Kris Kringle Cookies | ||
 Christmastime offers the perfect excuse to bake. And since the tanking economy has us all tightening the purse strings, DIY gifts are back in vogue. A fat Santa cookie jar filled to the brim with your secret recipe cookies is both more practical and thoughtful than a random gift card.  We like this one from Target, $17.49 With that detail sorted out, all that's left is to find that perfect recipe. My Kris Kringle cookies are a variation on your good ole chocolate chip - I hope you like them! Kris Kringles 2 1/4 cups flour (try half white, half whole wheat) 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp cloves zest of 1 navel orange Sift together in a small bowl until well mixed.  3/4 cup soft butter 2/3 cup white sugar 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract Beat together in a large bowl until creamy. 2 eggs juice of 1/4 to 1/2 a navel orange Add eggs one at a time to the batter and mix well. Hand squeeze in the orange juice. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. 1 cup chopped white baker's chocolate (or white chocolate chips) 1 cup craisins 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans  Stir into the cookie dough, then drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375F (180C) for 8-10 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen. by Claire Rahn | ||
