Great way to use leftover fresh cranberries. Since those crispy edges disappear when stored, I’ll try baking them in half-batches next time.
I was wanting to make something really different and this fit the bill. Made as is and found out I had just enough zest for the cookies alone and had to go without the drizzle. Still these cookies are very good. I can see where the additional orange drizzle would definitely kick it up a notch. Looking forward to making again with drizzle. Thanks.
I love this Grown Up cookie recipe. The only thing that I changed was doubled the walnuts. The cookie does cater to a more grown up pallet. This is my favorite holiday cookie recipe
Really full of flavor even though I didn’t use the frosting this time.
no
This cookie has a great flavor! They keep their shape and the texture is soft, not crumbly , just right!
These are terrific and easy. Wish the recipe made more cookies.. will just have to double it. My husband couldn’t quit eating these— he loved them!
These turned out great. Everyone who tried them was pleasantly surprised at how good the cranberry and orange combo was.
Very good cookie. Light and moist on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. They reminded me of Christmas with the cinnamon flavor. Instead of walnuts, I used pecans. The only thing I did not like was the orange icing. I thought it didnt taste good at all, so I chose not to add it to the cookie. These cookies are great just the way they are!
Good recipe. I used half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour and added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon rather than 1/2 teaspoon. I also used fresh cranberries I had in the freezer which I thawed, drained well and chopped. The cookies did not flatten so I know to flatten them in the future. Oh and I did not make the icing.
This one was just ok. It was much more “cakie” then what I want a cookie to be, but the over all flavor is pretty good. I did like the orange flavor to it but my boyfriend didn’t. At first I didn’t make the icing, but thought why not. I iced a few of them and the kids (of course) ate those up. Next time I will just stick to my usual cranberry oatmeal cookie.
These were just kind of bland. I followed the recipe exactly and expected more based on all the good reviews.
healthy and yummy , a hit with the kids and hubby. didn’t put the icing on top, cookies got eaten up before they had a chace to cool!!
I made these cookies for a Christmas party and everyone RAVED over them!! The glaze is pretty sweet, so i only used about 1/3 of the glaze. The cookies were a hit!
Delicious, easy, and wholesome! I made these without the frosting, so I replaced the milk with 1/4 C orange juice and they came out fantastic! Even my roommates, 3 meat-n-potato guys, liked them!
These cookies were just ok for me. I originally was just going to cook them without icing, but when I took them out they looked the same as they did going in! They didn’t spread or brown at all. I followed the recipe, only using 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup margarine for the butter, and egg replacer. But I have never had a problem doing that before this cookie. They were also not sweet at all, so I had to make the icing to save them! And it did, the icing was quite good, but probably won’t make these again, or will tinker with it. 🙂
This was the first time i have made oatmeal cookies from scratch. They were good, they were less oatmealish and more cinnamon-ish. I also used the glaze on top and i think it was a nice touch. One of my roommates said, “Heaven has entered my mouth in the form of your cookie!” Sounds like a winner!
Good, used butter instead of margarine.
Maybe because I used splenda instead of sugar, this recipe did not turn out for me at all. My husband still is eating the cookies even though they turned out all crunchy and granola like.
Everyone I made this for loved it – I substituted pecans for walnuts and used the dried cranraisins.
What a great cookie! They came out perfect, moist and delicious. I didn’t have any nutmeg, so I substituted pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon and nutmeg. I also used craisins instead of regular cranberries. The whole family loved them!
