Delicious little cookie gems! Cooking them for exactly 10 minutes was perfect for me, or even a bit longer. These are a great way to use up dried cranberries without a sugar overload. They're so yummy with a small glass of milk!

I'd give these 5 stars for flavor and 4 stars for texture. I agree with other reviewers that they are slightly dry - not in a bad way at all, I just prefer cookies like this to be a bit chewier and 'melt in your mouth'. To compensate I undercooked them, but maybe next time I'll take others' advice and use baking soda. They are really delicious, and I will definitely make them again!

These were incredible. I added both baking powder and salt. Also, didn't have the orange called for by the recipe, so added orange juice and followed another reviewer's tip to make a glaze from powdered sugar and orange juice and cinnamon. These embodied the taste of fall. So yummy!

These are very good cookies. I too changed the baking powder to baking soda, just because other reviews said they were dry, and it worked out great. I will make these again, much better than plan oatmeal. I also didn't put in as much orange flavor and put in a little more vanilla.

The orange flavor stands out in this recipe and it was a nice change from the typical oatmeal cookie. Nice flavored cookie, but a little on the dry side.

Good cookie, but definitely a cookie for an adult pallet. It is somewhat bitter with the cranberries which was good but the cookie itself was not sweet enough for my guests. I myself enjoyed the cookie but was outvoted. If I tried this recipe again I might add more sugar or consider an sweet orange icing to zip it up.

These were exactly what I was craving! Very delicious! My roommates and I are enjoying them a lot. I used apple pie spice instead of pumpkin pie spice because that is what I had and they turned out great! I will probably have to make a new batch in a couple days...these are going fast!

I've made these twice. The first time I inadvertantly used baking soda instead of baking powder and they were great!!!! 5 stars!! The second time, I corrected the error and used baking powder. The results were not as nice. They weren't as chewy and I found them to be drier, still tasted good, but definitely not 5 stars like the last batch.

These cookies were delicious. I added an extra tablespoon or so of brown sugar and used 1 teaspoon of OJ because I didn't have any orange extract. The flavor was good, but a little lacking, so I made an orange glaze (powdered sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon) which added exactly what was missing. They got rave reviews from all of my guests.

These are awesome. Doubled the amount of orange extract, used half a cup of the cranberries and half a cup of raisins. I had to cook these about 12-14 minutes to get the "browned edges" effect, but it could just be my oven. Made them for poker night and they were demolished.

These were good. We liked the orange flavor. My husband can't eat cranberries because of a medication so I made half with cranberries and half with raisins. I think I like the cranberries better but both were good.

These were pretty good. A tad dry. I didn't really taste the orange too much so I think next time I'll add a little more. Also, I only used a 1/2 cup cranberries, and then a 1/2 cup raisins.

Just made these and they are a perfectly wonderful cookie. The spice and orange are subtle and not overwhelming at all. Really great with a cup of tea. I used quick oats instead of rolled oats as it is what I had on hand so I cannot tell you how the cookies are with the rolled oats. I do know that the quick oats performed perfectly in the recipe.

These cookies were really good! I normally don't like things with orange flavor in them however, I really love these. Next time, we will add some chocolate chips. Will make again!
