Salted Caramel Cookie Bites
Sweet and salty has become a bit of a theme this month in my kitchen. Just last week, there were those Salted Caramel Pecan Bars.

I recently re-discovered this recipe in my insane as-yet-to-be-baked recipe collection. Something about the cranberries made them seem like a must for holiday baking. Plus, it’s not every day you get to make your own macadamia butter.
