These cookies DO look great, and I can also smell that orange and vanilla now! Two questions: If I add pecans, do I add 1 cup nuts and 1 cup cranberries, or does it matter the amounts as long as they add up to two cups? Also -- I really like crisp cookies, however; so I'm presuming that I can just continue baking them until they are golden brown on the bottom, correct? Thanks for your information...always love to get my King Arthur emails! My friends think I'm so 'brave' to bake and especially to use yeast! If they only understood how simple and great it is .... :) I've got the starter for the Irish Raisin Bread Toast working now... Lynne Lynne, 2 cups of whatever you prefer is fine. The cookies won't get crisp if you bake them longer, but they'll definitely become harder; the ingredients themselves aren't designed to yield a crisp/crunchy cookie. Enjoy that raisin bread - it's one of my favorites! PJH
