Cookies
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped cranberries
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Icing
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 -3 tablespoons orange juice

1
Preheat oven to 375.
2
Cream together the butter and sugars. Add egg, orange peel, and orange juice, mix thoroughly.
3
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients, mixing only until combined.
4
Stir in cranberries and nuts.
5
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, on a cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, and then cool on a rack about 30 minutes.
6
In a small bowl stir all icing ingredients until smooth. Frost cookies. I like to put the icing into a small ziploc bag, snip off the corner, and pipe spirals onto the cookies.
