Steps:
- Whisk the flour, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the oats and cranberries with a wooden spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 2-inch balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; press with a spatula to flatten. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden but the centers are still soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Slide the cookies from the parchment onto racks to cool completely.
- Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Drizzle on the cookies; let set 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but thaw them completely before adding them to the dough.
- Be sure to drain the cranberries well before adding them to the dough. This will help prevent the cookies from being too moist.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges. The centers of the cookies should still be soft and chewy.
- Let the cookies cool completely before icing them. This will help the icing set properly.
Conclusion:
These chewy cranberry oatmeal cookies with orange icing are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of cranberries, oats, and orange icing is sure to please everyone.
