As you’ve probably figured out by now, I love to bake. Especially cookies. I have a number of favorite cookie recipes which I make over and over like my Cinnamon Chocolate Chip cookies and my Chocolate White Chocolate Chunk cookies, but I’m always on the lookout for new delicious recipes.

I came across this one the other day on the internet. With the addition of white chocolate I thought the recipe was really good. I like the mixture of spices – they add a lot to the cookies.

Ask me if the boys would eat these. I thought they’d certainly eat them. They’re cookies for heaven’s sake! Believe it or not, only two of the four would eat them. The cranberries threw half of them. All of the adults that tried them really loved them.
