Yes Susan. They are excellent dried.

Basically 3 - 1, fresh/dried, but I would not worry about that too much,
just put in as much as you think feels right, they are not going to
upset a thing. Much like raisins. Matter of fact, they are dried much
better than fresh. Same as cherries in cookies.

But I would toast the nuts before chopping, much better flavor.

You might want to chuck the baking soda too, although there is some acid
from the O-J and brown sugar, the acid from the fresh cranberries will
be missing to activate it.
Substitute another 3/4 to 1 ts of baking powder instead.
