Time 50m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 orange, zested
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter, white and brown sugars, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy and well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and then gradually beat in the flour just until the mixture makes a soft dough. Stir in the pecans, rolled oats, and cranberries, and drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set and the edges are slightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 1 minute on baking sheets before removing to wire racks to finish cooling. Glaze cookies while still a little warm.
  • Place the confectioners' sugar and orange juice in a microwave-safe bowl, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the orange zest and butter, and microwave on medium power until the butter melts and the mixture is warm, about 30 seconds. Stir the warm glaze until smooth, and drizzle over cookies.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chop the pecans finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
  • If you don't have a microplane, you can use a zester to grate the orange zest.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before glazing them, as the glaze will not stick to warm cookies.
  • If you don't have orange juice, you can use water instead.
  • You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the glaze for extra flavor.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
