Citizens, tell me who DOESN’T love delicious, soft and chewy cookies?
Especially when they are geared to an adult palate: not too sweet, with dried cranberries, dark and white chocolate pieces and a good hint of vanilla, cardamom and nutmeg!
Answer: no Citizen of TFD Nation! 🙂
These are for you, my most loyal, the tens of thousands (quite literally) who have chosen to follow their beloved and transcendent leader to culinary epiphanies undreamt of by those who have yet to receive our gospel!
Cranberry is your friend for so many reasons, and I have every confidence you will come to enjoy this delicious and sweet recipe as much as I do!
