Why You'll Love Making This

This snack mix offers a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors with a satisfying crunch. It’s a great way to enjoy a healthy treat that’s easy to customize and share with friends or family. Plus, it combines wholesome ingredients that boost energy and keep you feeling full.

Practical Cooking Tips

- Toast the nuts lightly before mixing to enhance their flavor.
- Use dried cranberries with no added sugar for a healthier option.
- Mix ingredients gently to keep the cashews intact and avoid crushing the dried fruit.

Directions

Warm your oven to 375°F and lining a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate larger bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer until it’s nice and smooth. Then add the sour cream, egg, orange zest, and vanilla, mixing everything well. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until you have a smooth dough. Fold in the cashews and cranberries, then drop spoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto your prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Let the cookies cool on the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While they’re cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth, then drizzle the glaze over the cookies for a nice finishing touch.

Serving Options

Serve this mix in small bowls for a party or pack it in individual snack bags for on-the-go munching. It pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee and makes a great addition to lunchboxes or picnic baskets.

How To Refrigerate This Dish

Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature to keep it fresh. If you want it to last longer, keep it in the refrigerator, especially if your kitchen is warm. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods to maintain its natural taste.
