I think I would like to make these next week. I much prefer almonds, as I love almonds and cranberries together. I was thinking of using roasted, slivered almonds, cut into pieces instead. Do you think that would alter the recipe much? Jen, if you don't use orange peel, the cookies may be drier/harder; try baking them a tiny bit less. But they should be just fine - I love the cranberry/almond flavor combo... PJH
