A holiday favorite. I only ever make them during fall but have a spring/summer version I also love. I swap the cranberries with blueberries and the orange juice/zest with lemon juice/zest. And sometimes I throw in a big pinch of vanilla bean powder (if I have it on hand).

These cookies are vegan and the starch acts 1) as a binder and 2) to help the cookies feel less greasy than they would without the starch. Please don’t skip it! If you have corn starch on hand, you can substitute that for potato starch. If them being vegan is not important, you can use an egg, just know they will yield a flatter cookie than what is pictured.
