This recipie is great! Though when I made this recipie the first time my cookies collapsed. So, I tried the recipie a second time and put the cookies in the refrigerator for 1 hour before I put them on the my baking sheet. This solution solved all my problems and now I make this recipie for my family on a regular basis!

These were great. I made them for my father (the self appointed "Cookie Monster") and they didn't make it to dessert. He just popped open the container and started eating them before dinner! I made them with and without the glaze. Both ways are very good. No changes, these are great just the way they are. I used fresh Navel oranges for the juice rather than the store bought juice. I baked these for 11 minutes and the bottom was browned perfectly with the tops just toasted. These really are the perfect holiday cookies.

i made these for a church bake sale last year! They were the best selling item. They taste great and are super easy to make! And now that I am married these cookies are going to be my first holiday tradition.

I was unsure about trying these but like orange and cranberry so i gave it a shot. They have been a hit in my family ever since, even those who were skeptic about the orange and cranberry enjoyed them. I made them with out the glaze. But plan to try it next time

LOVE these cookies, can't stop eating them. Followed recipe as is, got a soft center drop type cookie. Delicious orange flavor. Nice presentation w/glaze, but doesn't need it. Next time, less sugar, & no glaze will do. Yum!

We loved these. Did not make the icing - they were great just as they were. My 2 year old loved these the most out of all the Christmas cookies we made, which was great because they were probably the healthiest cookie on the tray!

These were delicious half an hour out of the oven. A crispy outside. I used sweetened dried cranberries and thought there was too much of it in the recipe.

I couldn't find fresh cranberries so i was forced to use the dried (do they only have fresh cranberries in the fall)? These cookies were great right out the oven but a little dry the next day. Might be because of my cranberry dillema! Will try again in the fall.

I made these about an hour ago and they're almost gone. I used dried cranberries & added a little bit of vanilla, and cooked for 13mins. My husband, who isn't typically a dessert guy, has eaten most of them. They are the perfect blend of tart & sweet. If you want more tart, don't bother with the frosting. They will still be great

I got rave reviews for these cookies! I used dried cranberries instead of fresh because that's all I had on hand, and I added a teaspoon of orange extract to the batter and a teaspoon of orange extract to the icing to kick up the orange flavor. These were soft and chewy and amazing. They'd be delicious without the icing too!

YUM! These were soooo good! I used 1 1/3 cup craisins rehydrated overnight in 1/2 to 1 cup fresh squeezed oj. I also used 1 cup pecans instead of walnuts. And instead of the glaze I drizzled with melted white chocolate. I needed them to be firm on top so I could stack & ship them & the hardened white chocolate did the trick. They were beautiful!

I'm normally a chocolate freak, but this year wanted to add a new cookie to my cookie trays-I make them for sale each year for a church fundraiser. Decided to add these...and oh my gosh they are incredible! followed the recipe EXACTLY, and yes, be careful not to overcook them. Add this to your holiday cookies, youwon't be dissapointed!

I changed up this recipe to make it "Semi-homemade" by using a sugar cookie mix. These are by far the BEST cookies I have ever had! When I make them they don't even last 2 days. Hubby and I eat them all! For that reason I don't make them as much as I would like.

I love the flavor combinations with this cookie. I have many requests to make these. We add white chocolate chips because my four-year-old loves them. They turned out delicious!

I don't usually like fruit cookies but these were very good. They didn't get the "wow" factor I was hoping for, but everyone thought they were good. I followed the recipe exactly.
