Ive made these twice now and I always get rave reviews on them. I dont change it by much. I think i add a bit more orange juice to the icing recipe bec it comes out so thick but other than that, this is a perfect recipe. The first time i made them i used fresh cranberries but the second time cranberries were not available so I used dried. Both options are great. The dried result in chewier cookies.

It is a wonderful recipe! I used the zest of whole orange, and substituted one cup of cranberries to one cup of dried apricots. I roughly chopped apricots(in a food processor) into a size of pine nuts(in general, the apricot does not have to be chopped evenly). It gives a jelly-like and chewy texture.

These cookies are as beautiful as they are delicious!! I used shaved almonds b/c I had them on hand & they didn't add anything at all. I will try the walnuts next time or just skip the nuts completely. But, still - amazing!! Cookies are great, glaze is really great! Fantastic in all ways!

These cookies made me famous after the last holidays. I decided to bake for family/friends instead buying presents... and guess what!?! It took me less time i guess, and everyone fell in love with the cookies. I need to say that I am a complete begginer in this art... so it amazed me the simplicity of this recipe. The first batch lasted minutes in a 5 people household... and since them I've done it about 20 times for everyone. KIDS VERSION: no cranberries. It amazed me too to notice that they are tasty as well without the cranberry touch... which my girls don't like. The bad part... I just made this recipe MINE!! And wont tell anybody I found it here!! ;)

Pretty good. I soaked my dried cranberries for an hour, then drained. I also used all rapadura sugar (not white/brown) and did 1/3 whole wheat.

I'm always looking for new recipes for cookies, as an after school snack for my 2 Grandsons, and this one is a keeper for sure. They loved them, as did my husband and I. Have used raisins when out of cranberries, made with and w/o nuts or glaze...they always come out wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing a real 'keeper'!

I loved these cookies, as did pretty much everyone else who had them. Reminded me so much of cranberry-orange bread. My only "problem" with them was I don't think I let them cool long enough with and without the icing 'cause they stuck to the wax paper I put them on. Oh well. Will definitely make these again.
