CRACKLED CRANBERRY PECAN COOKIES
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
