Cranberries, walnuts, and orange. Who wouldn’t love this combination. These cookies are also made with whole wheat flour and applesauce, which is much healthier but still tastes delicious.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Put the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar into a small flat-bottomed dish or pan.
Roll the dough with floured hands (it will be very moist) into 1½-inch balls, then roll in sugar to coat.
