Scrumptious! I was mixing the butter and sugars when I realized I didn't have fresh cranberries, but do not despair, dried cranberries work fine. I also added chocolate chips. Yum. Just a little sweeter than fresh cranberries.

I made this cookie for a cookie exchange and it came out great. Not being a big fan of icing I melted semi-sweet chocolate chips, added a drop of orange extract and thinned it with orange juice and dipped one end of each cookie. Terrific!! Looked great too!!

Great tasting cookie, even if you don't top it with the icing ! I cut the fresh cranberries into halves, but next time I'll chop them into smaller pieces. I didn't add the optional walnuts on this first attempt, but if I do next time, I'd cut back the amount of cranberries to 1-1/2 cups. I'd also consider buying a cookie scoop, to obtain a more uniform size.

The flavor is great! My husband loves that they are chewy. I followed the recipe exactly except I only baked them for around 10 minutes, they tend to brown on the bottom very quickly. They were a big hit with my kids too, they liked the tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of the orange.

This is a very good recipe. The cooking time is a little long. I only cooked them for 10 mins and they were perfect. Also, I refrigerated the dough before baking. I used Craisins instead of fresh cranberries....still turned out great.

These turned out great! The only thing I did different was use more zest and did not include the nuts. I made them for a cookie exchange and really liked the results as well as the compliments!

Great addition to my cookie recipe collection! Perfect mix of sweet and tart. I followed the recipe exactly and drizzled the frosting over the cookies. So pretty! And delicious!

YUM! What a great idea for a cookie! These are soft and delicious. The only problem (sort of) is that they tend to stick together a little when stored. I will definitely be making these every Christmas from now on, but will probably bake them a little longer next time to keep them from adhering to one another. :-)

These are some tasty cookies! I reduced the butter by two tablespoons and they tasted just as great. I only had tangerines so I used tangerine zest instead.

I made these exactly per the recipe and they are wonderful! After they cooled I put them in a ziploc bag overnight...and they were even better the next day (not sure about the day after that because they were gone!).

These are terrific cookies! Used dried cranberries and just lightly drizzled the icing- that was plenty. A "gourmet" tasting cookie. Will definately make these often, especially around the holidays. Great change of pace from the usual chocolate chip, oatmeal, etc.

These cookies will make the tasters eyebrows pop up as they exclaim, "wow, these are really good!" They're good without the glaze but supurb with it.

This is a beautiful cookie, especially for the holidays. I followed the recipe ingredients exactly, but cut the baking time down to about 10 minutes since they seemed to be browning on the bottom to quickly. I used a cookie scoop to get even sized cookies and finished them with a swirl of white chocolate instead of the glaze. They are so pretty!
