Dark Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies
IMG_7102

I almost made it two weeks eating healthy. I mean, I love salad, but I guess I love dessert more…

I made these for my daughter Pia who, even at the tender age of three, has a real chocolate issue! And even though these are dark and rich, she loves them, and chose them over regular chocolate chip!

When you crack these cookies open, still warm, you get rich, almost brownie like texture in the cookies, and then they are studded with melting chocolate chips, and little sour bites of dried cranberries which look like little red jewels nestled in the chocolate.

If you need a real chocolate hit- here is your cookie!

Dark Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies, makes 3 dozen
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar

1 ½ cups flour
1 ½ cups good quality cocoa powder
