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.

CRANBERRY PECAN OAT COOKIES
This is a chewy cookie which I made up some years ago. It can be made with gluten free oats and gluten free flour, too. The amount is a guess because I didn't make these cookies for about two years and can't remember how many it yields, but I guess it is something around 30 cookies.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with baking parchment. If not using parchment, do NOT grease the sheets.
- 2. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a small bowl. Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in cranberries and pecans.
- 3. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack and cool completely.
- 4. Do you like perfectly round, slice-and-bake cookies? Then try this variation: After preparing dough, divide in half and form into 2 balls; wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour until firm. Then shape each ball into a log about 2" in diameter; rewrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes (may be stored this way for several hours or days before baking. Mix them up in the morning, and let your kids slice and bake when they get home from school). Cut into 1/2" thick slices and bake as above.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will make the process go much smoother.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a lighter, more tender cookie.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: Overmixing can toughen the dough, so be careful not to overmix.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the dough to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will dry out the cookies, so be careful not to overbake them.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape and texture.
Conclusion:
These cranberry pecan cookies 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. With their chewy texture, tart cranberries, and crunchy pecans, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cranberry pecan cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
