white chocolate cranberry cookies

December 3, 2019 by Lovoni | Leave a Comment

So simple to make & with only a handful of ingredients, White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies have just the right amount of crispness with a bit of a soft & squidgy center thanks to the chocolate & dried cranberries. So whether you’re a crispy or a chewy cookie lover, you’ll get the best of both worlds. I’m all about that.

Really, they don’t need any adornment but if you’re feeling so inclined & wanted to spruce them up a little, then a quick drizzle of some melted white chocolate is all that’s needed.

I’d like to say I resisted the urge to eat any of these today while they were having their picture taken, but I’d be lying. I actually lost count of how many I greedily gobbled. The remainder are being sent to work with my husband tomorrow. Let’s see if I have some semblance of self-control between now & then.

white chocolate cranberry cookies

This recipe was first published in a Christmas cookbook I wrote several years ago. I’ve made the cookies many times since. Being an easy recipe, it requires no prowess in the kitchen. These cookies are good. Don’t think because they’re not flashy or complicated they’re not going to be wonderful – you’d be wrong. I’m not sure why I’ve not shared this recipe until now. These cookies are perfect for the festive season. So are Cranberry Shortbread Star Cookies – the only other cookie recipe I have on my website. I guess I need to up my cookie game. Cheers, Lovoni xo

GOOD FOOD. NO GUILT
Some foods’ appearance beguiles the taste & text Some foods’ appearance beguiles the taste & texture. This is one such dish. Super Crunchy Herb, Lemon & Parmesan Chicken served with a lemony, garlic, caper butter. Breaded chicken & fish are favorites of mine. Served simply with some sea salt & lemon wedges or with this lemony butter sauce. Serve with creamy mashed potato & steamed green beans & call me; I’ll be there! I’ll even bring wine xo

Happy March 1st. The start to a new month needs ca Happy March 1st. The start to a new month needs cake - One Bowl Banana Cake with Caramel Drizzle. There’s something warm & comforting about this cake, especially today. Spring briefly revealed herself to us this past weekend & then she slinked back into the abyss.  Soon. 
Meanwhile I’m still wanting warm & comforting foods making use of the seasonal foods. What are you excited to make as the seasons transition?

Salmon, Leek & Ricotta Tarts because yesterday & t Salmon, Leek & Ricotta Tarts because yesterday & today we got a little taste of spring & I think these tarts are just that - a little taste of springtime.

Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my website & shared it on Pinterest, I almost blew up my Pinterest account. It was so popular. I was shocked. Really I made it for my husband a couple of times and the recipe was so nice I had to share. I thought here the words “ox tail” might turn people away. I was wrong, quite the opposite. Nowadays it’s beef tail not ox because oxen numbers, as far as I’m aware, have been on the decline and is the reason for beef tails being used but they’re still referred to as ox tail.

Succumbing to the cold & snow makes more sense tha Succumbing to the cold & snow makes more sense than complaining about it (not that it stops me whining) so I’m embracing soup-making. This one here is Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup. It’s pretty fabulous. I’ll drop the link below. Meanwhile tonight’s offering from the soup gods is creamy roasted red pepper soup with grilled salami & cheese sammich. Yummy!!
