One word: WOW. This is one of the best cookies I've ever baked. Light texture, nice depth with the sweetness of the orange and the tartness of the cranberries. My husband couldn't stop eating them! Will definitely make again during the holidays.

very good cookie alternative to the usual one that has some form of chocolate in it. i added the 1/2 cup extra flour like others' suggestions. since i didn't have fresh cranberries on hand (also, that i would be too lazy to de-pitt them) i soaked 1 cup of dried Craisons in orange juice over night and it produced just under 2 cups of juicy, orange infused cranberries. i added 3-4 tbls of this cranberry infused orange juice instead of the suggested 2 tbls. i used the zest of one large orange. I also added 1 tsp of almond extract. it complements the orange nicely. i didn't use any glaze and it was perfect. it did start to get a bit hard quickly while cooling on the rack, so like one of the other suggestions, i put a slice of bread in with the cookies when i moved them all to the cookie jar. they are all very moist and delish. thanks for sharing the recipe and thank you everyone for sharing your feedback! MADE LOAVES: i made the batter as above, but then had to stick it in the fridge for a day because i had errands to do. when i made then they were flat. when i put it in the cookie jar with the slice of bread they all melled together(too moist). So i stuck the rest into mini-loaves pan. Yummy!

My oven burnt the first batch, and I burnt the second! They were still good, even though I usually hate crispy cookies. They are probably amazing when not burnt! I used orange flavored "crasins" (dried cranberries) and I would highly recommend those.

Great recipe! I used 1 tsp of orange oil instead of the zest, chopped dates instead of the cranberries, and added a cup of chopped walnuts; the office staff went wild over them!

Love this recipe. I substitute pecans for the walnuts. Worth the extra effort required. They look and taste very gourmet. I look forward to making them every Christmas.

I made the recipe as listed and I really loved the cookies. I later realized that I had used dried cranberries and not fresh. They were a little chewy (Delicious flavor though), maybe re-hydrating the berries first would have made them easier to chew. I didn't care for the frosting, thought it was much too sweet. Would make them again, no frosting needed.

These cakey cookies are wonderful! I put the zest of two oranges in, used fresh cranberries cut in half, and the cookies are very tasty. I didn't glaze them but I don't think it would be too sweet unless you coated them in glaze. Thanks for the post, this recipe is a keeper!

These are very good. I put in Crasins instead of the fresh cranberries. As I didn't want to fuss with cutting the fresh cranberries in half. They kept there shape while baking & they turned out yummy. I went without the frosting as these are good just on their own. My Mom has a similar receipe, but with no orange juice or zest in it. When growing up in Alaska we would pick fresh cranberries to use for cookies & breads. They were as small as a pea, so they were great to bake with.

I ran out of all purpose flour and used bread flour and I didn't make the glaze, but out came these cakey, tasty cookies. I loved them. My fiancee thought the cranberries were too tart, but he doesn't usually eat fruit/ berries in general. Excellent! I'll be making them for my sister's holiday cookie party.

The best! These turn out great every time. Not like a typical homemade cookie, more like those found at a upscale coffee or tea cafe'.

These cookies are awesome. I made them for a cookie exchange tomorrow and I just hope there is some left to bring! Nobody's fingers can seem to stay away from them! I used Craisins in place of the cranberries and used fresh sqeezed OJ. YUM! Perfect and SO easy!

omg whoever submitted this, I LOVE YOU. i tried making seven different types of cookies in the last 3 days, because I have a cookie party tomorrow night and nothing would turn out right.. and then i stumbled on this just because I had bought (dried) cranberries for another recipe and I had allthe other ingredients, so i was like, ok lets give it a go. THEY TASTE FABULOUS!. they look adorable, very appropriate to give as gifts, they are sooo easy to make and yeah, just brilliant. but DO NOT overcook them. take them out when they go golden around the edges and it may well be befor e 12 minutes is even up. THANKYOU to whoever posted this on here!!!!
