Macadamia Butter Cookies with Dried Cranberries
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.

I’m generally not a big fan of white chocolate. My thinking has always been, why have that when you can have chocolate chocolate? Who’s with me?

Fun fact: I do not like raisins. Not even a little bit. I do, however, very much like oatmeal cookies. They’re chewy and cinnamon-y and just plain yummy.

I loved, loved, loved pecan sandies as a child. You know, the store-bought ones that have been around for ages. In my adult years, I have come to appreciate and prefer homemade baked goods. I simply couldn’t pass up the chance to make my very own pecan sandies.
This recipe comes from Martha Stewart Makes Cookies, an iPad and iPhone app that’s been around for a few months now. I was first introduced to the app when I was invited to The Martha Stewart Show to live Tweet her cookies episode in November. As you can imagine, that was quite an experience, and I’m still in awe of both her and that set.
