“Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies”

Seems like I’m always baking for my coworkers especially as the holidays grow near.  My Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies were a hit and everybody who got some are still talking about them. As a result, recipes I create allow a large group of people to be my taste testers. I do have an in-house taste tester in my husband but unbiased opinions are best sometimes. However, I have never missed the mark on sweet treats I’m sharing with friends and family.

Buttery, Crispy, Chewy – Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

What makes these cookies so special? Dried cranberries and chocolate chips lead the way. Also, what else makes these cookies so tasty and unforgettable is additional salt is added. Something magical happens when salt and sweet come together especially where chocolate is concerned. The darker the chocolate the better while cranberries infuse a sweet and tart and chewy bite in each cookie. Need I say more?
