These cookies are amazing! They're so soft and chewy, and the cranberries give them a tart and tangy flavor. I can't wait to make them again!

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time. Otherwise, the cookies were easy to make and they turned out pretty.

The recipe was easy to follow and the cookies turned out delicious. I especially liked the addition of the chopped pecans, which gave the cookies a nice crunchy texture. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe and I would definitely recommend it to

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I loved the combination of the sweet and tart cranberries with the buttery cookie dough. I will definitely be making these again next year.
