Butter 3 baking sheets. Combine dried
sweetened cranberries and orange juice in small bowl. Let stand until dried
cranberries soften slightly, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
Whisk all purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking
powder, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl until just blended.
Position rack in center of oven and preheat
to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat room-temperature butter and golden brown
sugar in large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg, minced ginger, vanilla extract,
and grated orange peel and beat until well blended, about 2 minutes. Beat in
flour-spice mixture. Stir in chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, coarsely
chopped fresh or frozen cranberries, and dried cranberries with any juices that
have accumulated.
Drop cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfuls
onto prepared baking sheets, spacing tablespoonfuls about 1 1/2 inches apart.
Bake cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, until golden and almost firm to touch
in center, about 18 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets 5 minutes. Transfer
to racks; cool cookies completely. (Cookies can be made 2 days ahead. Store
cookies in airtight container at room temperature.)
