If you think the name is a mouthful wait until you try the cookie! This cookie is packed with a sort of quiet sweetness that comes around and taps you on the shoulder and says “Hey, grab a glass of milk and another cookie.” At least that’s what they say to me. Do you ever have one of those days where you want to bake and you wonder what you should put together? Today was that day for me. I wanted to bake but I wasn’t sure what to make and then I was thinking about my family and all the things that are going on in their lives and my brain landed on my son-in-law. He’s taking a test on Saturday that is a pretty big deal AND he has sort of a favorite cookie and this is it. So I grabbed out my ginormous bag of dried cranberries from Costco and got to work.
As a side note… we are expecting a grand-baby any day now and I was feeling grateful for all the people who know my cute daughter-in-law and wondered what to bake today and then thought of her. She had a few deliveries herself today…hoping the baby is the next delivery!
This is how packed with goodies the dough looks before it’s baked!
This is how they look when they are baked. They are all ready to be eaten or…
