"I love a good oatmeal raisin cookie. There is something totally comforting about them. Not to mention, I pretend they are health food! In this version, the soft oat cookie holds the tart chew of the cranberries, the crunchy nuttiness of the pecans, and the subtle citrus from the orange zest and ground coriander. The bourbon glaze adds spice for a cold winter's night. These cookies are just like the holidays at my house, fruity, nutty and a little tipsy...."
