Fresh Cranberry Cookies
I made this recipe up to use some leftover fresh cranberries after baking some cranberry nut bread. A total experiment, I was kind of expecting these to be . . . not very good?

These cookies are HUGE. I mean, seriously. Okay, not as huge as a cookie cake, but that’s like a whole ‘nother thing. That you get at the mall.

Gather round, ye nut-lovers, and hear this tale of how the Nutter Baller came to be among our fleshly bodies. That sounded gross. I apologize. I hope you’re still here so I can just tell you about this cookie that FAMOUS PASTRY CHEF ZAC YOUNG told me to make. He told me to make a…
