I won a baking contest with these chunky glazed cookies that are so easy, even novice bakers can pull them off. What makes them special? Fresh cranberries. —Laurie Cornett, Charlevoix, Michigan

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons orange juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup 2% milk
2-1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
1 cup white baking chips
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
GLAZE:
1/3 cup butter, cubed
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons water

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and orange juice. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in cranberries, baking chips and pecans.
Drop dough by level tablespoonfuls 1 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For glaze, in a small heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Heat 5-7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and enough water to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set.
