Cranberry Cookies

From: Betty Crocker recipe card

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp orange juice
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp soda
1 cup chopped nuts
2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped frozen cranberries

Heat oven to 375. Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.

Stir in milk, orange juice and egg. Mix in remaining ingredients.

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes. Makes 11 dozen cookies.

What I did differently from the recipe:
Halved it! Did you see that it makes eleven dozen cookies!?!? Holy cow! I also made my cookies about thirty times bigger than you're supposed to. I left out the nuts and used Craisins instead of frozen cranberries - it's what I had in the pantry.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! A little sweet but maybe because I used Craisins? I can see these cookies being great with pretty much any fruit!
