Crackled Cranberry Pecan Cookies image

Cranberries, orange and nuts make one of my favorite flavor combinations, and this special drop cookie fits in particularly well at holiday potlucks. For a fruitcake-type cookie, use a mixture of dried fruits and substitute rum flavoring for half the vanilla. -Deborah Biggs, Omaha, Nebraska

These cookies were a complete disaster. They spread out too much in the oven and they were burnt on the bottom.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These cookies are a little sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I loved these cookies. The maple syrup and pecans really balance out the tartness of the cranberries.
