Just made these for Thanksgiving as something different from the usual pies. This way, my nephew can take some back home to his bachelor apartment. I made them just a bit larger and got about 2-1\/2 dozen. I added zest and orange juice to the icing which amped up the flavor. I agree with a few others that there wasn\u2019t enough icing but I had both a plain and iced cookie, and both are good. I also toasted my walnuts for extra flavor. My reason for four stars was the ratio of cookie to icing. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-11-05","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"SAB855"},"reviewBody":"
The cookie dough texture was good and baked wonderfully, the recipe worked as written. I used fresh cranberries, and perhaps I just bought a bad bag, but the tart\/bitter\/sourness of the cranberries was a shock in the cookies, which caused complaints from a few people. If I make these in the future, I think I will use dried cranberries or figure out a way to sweeten the fresh ones. Also, I'll add more orange flavor (such as orange zest as others have suggested). <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":2,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-12-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Jenn010"},"reviewBody":"

Awful! They flattened out like pancakes. I will try again sometime. Will add more flour & as the photo shows-the cranberries are chopped in larger pieces. I chopped finer in a food chopper.
