CRANBERRY TEA COOKIES RECIPE

December 5, 2014 by Susan Bewley

With the holiday nearly here, many of us want to enjoy some time with friends and family. Like many people, I love the idea of sitting down with them and exchanging fun gifts. As I’ve gotten older, however, I have moved more to giving homemade gifts, such as cookies, bath products, or even mixes. I have found that some of the best gifts were actually homemade baked goods since…well…who doesn’t like getting yummy cookies? Even though many people love my chocolate cherry cookies, I do have some people on my gift list who don’t like chocolate. To my delight one of my friends recently shared with me this yummy recipe, perfect for those who want something different from the traditional chocolate holiday cookies!

After hearing the success these cookies had with her, I knew I had to try these cookies for myself. The results were so good I couldn’t wait to share this recipe with all of my readers! With the size of this batch I found it was perfect for filling two small tins, making it the perfect holiday gift for two friends!

Note: Special thanks to my friends Shannon at Livingston Creatives for helping me with this recipe and pictures!

    I think a home made gift is always appreciated. It shows that you took the time, and put thought into it. I’m going to try this recipe. I like cranberries in baked goods. Thanks for passing this recipe on.

    This recipe sounds good. I really enjoy fruit and nuts in a cookie. I imagine the cranberry add a slight tartness.

Did you know goat milk is the most nutritious milk Did you know goat milk is the most nutritious milk replacer for puppies & kittens? See why it is referred to as 'the universal mother's milk' & why it is the better choice for newborn animals! (link on profile).
