Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in cranberries until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool on sheets briefly before transferring them to wire racks. Mix powdered sugar with milk for frosting and drizzle over cooled cookies.
