My Wife's Cranberry Cookie Recipe

I took some of the cookies to work one day and a few of my co-workers tried them. They love the cookies and are always asking me if I have any to share. One of my co-workers suggested that my wife sell them online. I went home and told her this and she asked if they wanted to buy any. No, they want us to sell them to others and eat theirs for free. These cookies are not too sweet, just sweet enough to taste great. The cookies would never last long enough to sell anyway because I like to eat them as fast as they come out of the oven. At least until my wife chases me out of the kitchen and back across the infamous green line. So rather then sell the cookies I'll just give away the recipe and that way I don't have to share.

Using the same recipe you can switch the Craisins to another type of fruit or sweet to make cookies. Such as raisin cookies or raspberry cookies, even blueberry cookies. Simply use the same amount of the other fruit as the recipe calls for Craisins. The recipe is a general cookie recipe that can be used in many ways. Experiment with it to come up with all kinds of different tastes.

These are not diet cookies and I don't know the nutritional value of them. Personally I don't care. They taste great and that's all I need to know. Besides, I'm skinny as a rail anyway and they haven't changed that one iota.

Lately I have resorted to hiding the cookies from my co-workers, because when I'm not watching they eat them all. I began by hiding them in my desk so I can sneak or cookie or two while I am pretending to work. But, those moochers found them and ate them when I walked away from my desk to actually do some work. So, I got smart and locked them in a filing cabinet. I thought ha, ha I'll teach them. They'll never find the cookies now.

Then I had to go to the computer room to make some copies and forgot the keys on my desk. Wouldn't you know, when I returned with copies in hand and a crooked smile on my face, I found the filing cabinet open and the cookies were almost gone. My buddy was snickering while quickly chewing. "Cookie thief", I shouted, "you found my cookie stash!"

Then my boss walked in and asked what the problem was. We acted all innocent and said just celebrating because of the big sale we just made - whew (wiping my brow). She was happy and asked for a cookie. And there went the rest of my stash. Trials and tribulations of the yummy cookies.

So I quit my job and now I horde all the cookies in my home office. I ate and ate them until something strange happened? I heard a bubbling rumble sound coming from my belly and suddenly made a mad dash for the toilet. So I bring you the next part of my ode to the cookie.
