My first fancy batch of cookies in a long time! The Crescent Cranberry Nutty Chocolate cookies are time consuming and tedious to make, but they are so worth it. I love dried cranberries mixed with the buttery flavor dough, and a hint of chocolate with sprinkled nuts makes me happy all day. On second thought a Berry Creme Brulee would do the same trick. Thanksgiving was the perfect opportunity for me to bake since we had extra time off. These cookies remind me of the ones I had on a Christmas cruise many moons ago. It was a fabulous trip. Part of a Christmas gift to SO because I was lucky to be offered a last minute discount cruise. My travel agent was so good to us, she even throw in a food basket. That was when Amanda met the cookie of her dreams. Since then I reminisced how good the first bite was with my morning cup of coffee.
Thanks for stopping by today.

ReplyDelete@Treat and TrickI think it could be sweeter, so I will try more sugar next time.
ReplyDelete@***Icy BCIt isn't a normal activity, only when I have a lot of time off. SO watched T on Thanksgiving, so I can take my time in the kitchen.
ReplyDelete@Anne Lyken-GarnerYou will be better than what you think. Baking requires that you be able to relax. smiles
ReplyDeleteIf they taste as good as they look, then they must be divine! I've gained weight just looking at the photos.
