Hi, today I a sharing a recipe for Cranberry, Orange & Almond Caramel Cookies.

Cranberry, Orange & Almond Caramel Cookies

This Cranberry, Orange & Almond Caramel Cookies recipe is from a book called Honey & Co: The Baking Book.  I am really enjoying this book and have now cooked a few recipes from it.  One of my favourites will have to be Chocolate and Pistachio Cookies that are super delicious.

If you do not have time to make the cookies in one go, you can easily make the pastry beforehand.
When it comes to rolling out the pastry, If you do not feel to roll out your pastry you can always push it out with your fingers 🙂 Make sure that before you cook your pastry, that you have taken it up the sides of your baking tray.

Remember to cut the cookies before the caramel becomes too hard to cut otherwise you may have a little bit of a hard time.

I was able to cook these lovely Cranberry, Orange & Almond Caramel Cookies while I was home in South Africa and I was able to test out my mom’s gorgeous knife which was made by Anthony Topham.  If you are looking for any kitchen knives that are personalised you can go and have a look or contact Anthony through his Instagram Page – https://www.instagram.com/ant_topps.
