Ingredients
2 cups Flour
2 cups Oats
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
1⁄2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1 cup Brown Sugar
3⁄4 cups Sugar
3⁄4 cups Butter (softened)
1 1⁄2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 whole Eggs
1 cup Dried Cranberries
1 1⁄2 cup Powdered Sugar
3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 teaspoons Orange Zest (grated)

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. To prepare cookies, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl. Combine brown sugar, sugar, and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture and cranberries; beat at low speed until combined. Shape dough into 55 (1-inch) balls. Place the balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until almost firm. Let stand on the baking sheets 2 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheets; cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and orange zest in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Spoon mixture into a small zip-top plastic bag. Snip a small hole in 1 corner of bag; drizzle glaze over cooled cookies.
