Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate large bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, add the sour cream, egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.

Step 2
Next, gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until you have a smooth dough. Fold in the cashews and cranberries gently. Using a teaspoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.

Step 3
Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn a nice light golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4
While the cookies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice to make a smooth glaze. Once the cookies are cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and enjoy!
