Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the cut margarine until it is a coarse texture.
Add the applesauce and milk until a sticky dough forms (note: you may need as little as 1/8 C to as much as 1/4 C to achieve this).
Fold in the cranberries. If using fresh or frozen, be gentle with this as you do not want to discolor your dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll to 1" thick. At this point, you can cut into triangles or using a cookie or biscuit cutter, cut into rounds.
Place on a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the almond milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.
Cool completely.
Mix together the confectioner's sugar, orange juice and orange zest.
Dip the tops of the rounds, letting some drizzle over the edges. Garnish with more zest, if desired.
