I think cookies are the most common thing people make in December. Don't know why, I much rather make a awesome cake, or brownie or pie or whatever. But alas, it's not that way and I end up making cookies around Christmas time just like everyone else. Which isn't a bad thing by the way. ;)
You think cranberries are so last month? Think again! Not only do these cookies taste, like, awesome, but they're so pretty! They got perfect Christmas colors and everything! Oh, and they're most, not like those crunchy dog biscuit cookies...Mmm....Theses are good!
I had no idea what cranberries tasted like. Our family never has cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving so how would I know? I'm to scared to try one, but in these cookies are are really, really good! It's like a bite of freshness with a bit of tart and the sweet of the cookie. It's just really good!
Make a bit batch of these for Christmas giveaways, or just for the family! Oooh, have some with homemade egg nog! Now that's gona be a real treat!
