Cranberry Christmas Cookies
It’s the holiday season! For this year’s cookie exchange at work, I decided to make red, green, and white cookies – red cranberries, green sprinkles, and white chocolate chips. My husband said the cookies were amazing! Let’s hope my co-workers agree. These cookies are somewhat like a jumble cookie. They have oatmeal, tart cranberries, sweet […]

My husband was shocked that I was still able to get the flavor and richness in […]

Today is […]
