These cookies are delicious! I did alter the recipe which is why I gave it a four instead of a five star rating. I added fresh cranberries instead of dried, walnuts, and a teaspoon or two of vanilla. I recommend spending the extra money to use Green and Blacks Organic White Chocolate, it is one of the best white chocolates available, but beware it is highly addictive!

So delish!! I substituted the white chocolate with regular chocolate (that's what was in my cupboards). I also add a bit more oatmeal to make the cookies chuckier. They were absolutely delish!

Good cookie that makes me feel like I am eating healthy....cranberries, oatmeal (: Taste is very good. I pressed down slightly when I put them on the cookie sheet because they are thicker cookies. I also used white chocolate chips.

Great recipe. Didn't need to make any changes and it turned out very well. I did make the cookies a little larger and pressed down lightly before I put them in the oven. And, as always, watch your bake time. These cookies dry out very quickly if left in the oven too long.

This was not very good, too blend. I added 1tsp of vanilla and some white sugar. The cookie was crispy and moist, but not sweet.

These are good, not too sweet and I like that. Great with a cup of coffee in the morning so we called them "breakfast cookies". Interesting note, this is the exact recipe that is on the back of the Craisins package. I agree that it needs vanilla, and I added chopped walnuts as well. Rounded teaspoons is too small for these cookies, rounded tablespoons worked much better.

Excellent! I added some slivers of macadamia nuts just because I happen to have about a 1/2 cup left over from another recipe. These were good, very good. I think they are a very good cookie for gifts or taking somewhere, just special.

This recipe was great! I love that they are simply sweet without being too much. And I took the tips from a few others and added vanilla and a splash of orange juice. It's a nice kick. Definitely saving this recipe for later. :)

These were good. We did add some extra brown sugar and vanilla extract. Due to the chips and cranberries, these cookies are better when they are larger.

Even adding the vanilla, orange peel, nuts, vanilla and soaking the cranberries like other reviewers recommended, this was bland.

This is just the Ocean spray recipe. And that one isn't that great either - really not a lot of flavor and a bit dry.

I made these cookies for a holiday party. The only changes I made was adding vanilla after adding the eggs and adding walnuts at the end. I also doubled the recipe so I could have more cookies! They came out delicious. They are light, crumbly and a great combination of flavors. I will definitely make this again and again!

These were really good, especially while warm. My whole family loved them. I did not change a thing. I think next time I will add some vanilla extract for a little more flavor like others have suggested. But, they are delicious like they are.

I added the vanilla as suggested, but I also added about 1 - 2 tsps of finely grated orange zest. According to my husband, that was made the cookie great.

This recipe can be found word for word on the back of the Crasins package. Its a pretty good recipe, just not an original one. I'd suggest making them a little sweeter, they had a touch of a dry/salty taste to me.
