cranberry cookie strudel

How To Make cranberry cookie strudel

• 
  Step 1
  Make your cranberry sauce. In a pot add cranberries, spices, zest, and water. Let simmer for approximately 30 minutes until all the sugar has dissolved and the cranberries are soft and most of them have popped.
• 
  Step 2
  Turn off the heat and cool. Meanwhile, as the cranberry sauce is cooling, add the cookies to a mini food chopper or food processor. Pulse until the cookies are rough crumbles.
• 
  Step 3
  Once the cranberry sauce has cooled, it's time to prepare your strudel. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut a piece of wax/parchment paper and unroll your pie crust on the paper. Roll out the pie crust on the left and right side, making it almost like a rectangle, but not quite. Spread 2 Tbsp of butter over the pie crust.
• 
  Step 4
  Add 1/4 of the cookie crumbs and 1 tsp grated orange zest.
• 
  Step 5
  Add 1/2 of the cranberry sauce.
• 
  Step 6
  Sprinkle another 1/4 of the cookie crumbs over the cranberry sauce mixture.
• 
  Step 7
  Working from the end closest to you, roll the pie crust jelly roll style away from you. Tuck your ends in as rolling. When finished, the seam should be on the top.
• 
  Step 8
  Beat the egg white with water until frothy. Baste the egg white mixture along the seam.
• 
  Step 9
  Press the seam into the pie crust to ensure it doesn't separate upon breaking. Cut small slits into the top.
• 
  Step 10
  Baste the egg white mixture along the strudel. Sprinkle the sanding sugar all over the strudel.
• 
  Step 11
  Repeat with the second pie crust, sauce, cookie crumbs, and zest. Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 35-45 minutes or until nicely golden.
• 
  Step 12
  Remove from oven and let cool. A slice pairs nicely with vanilla ice cream.
