Steps:

Preheat oven to 375.
Cream together the butter and sugars. Add egg, orange peel, and orange juice, mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients, mixing only until combined.
Stir in cranberries and nuts.
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, on a cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, and then cool on a rack about 30 minutes.
In a small bowl stir all icing ingredients until smooth. Frost cookies. I like to put the icing into a small ziploc bag, snip off the corner, and pipe spirals onto the cookies.
