Sour Cream Orange Cookies (printable)
Ingredients

1 cup yellow raisins, plumped and dried
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange oil
zest of one small orange, finely minced
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons Clabber Girl Baking Powder
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Stack two baking sheets together and line top one with parchment paper. Cover the raisins with hot water and let stand 3 minutes. Drain and dry well and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream the sugars with the butter until smooth. Add in the egg, vanilla, orange oil, orange zest and sour cream and blend until smooth.
Fold in dry ingredients. Form into large cookies – about 3-4 tablespoons of dough – and press very lightly onto the prepared cookies sheet. Bake 15-18 minutes until lightly browned on top and beginning to brown around the edges. Cool well.
