What I'm Eating... Oatmeal & Cranberry Cookies

Okay, I'm not a baker... I couldn't have come up with this on my own.  I just wanted to use the cranberries in my freezer, and oatmeal cookies sounded yummy on a rainy Saturday, so I searched and found this recipe for Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips on another blog, Coconut & Lime.  They turned out great!  Super soft, too, which I love.  It sounds like a lot of things thrown together, but the combination of cranberries and chocolate really is heavenly.

What I'm eating... Spritz Cookies

The only problem with these tasty little cookies is that because they're small, I don't really realize how many I'm eating, until 1/3 of the plate is gone... oops!

The recipe is HERE, on Decorate, Eat & Repeat

What I'm eating... Sugar Cookies

Yummy, sugar cookies!

Some tips for keeping cookies soft and chewy (which I didn't, for whatever reason, do with this batch):

Keep them in a plastic bag or covered dish, and throw a slice of bread in there with them.  The slice of bread will become hard, while the cookies stay soft.

Keep them in the microwave.  This is probably the best use of your microwave, anyway.  ;)
