Almond, Coconut, Cranberry, Dark Chocolate, Oatmeal Cookies


Everything but the kitchen sink cookies. In our house these cookies often replace energy bars. We make a double batch each time and they seldom last more than a couple of days. Though they do freeze nicely if you want to make ahead then add them to your Christmas goody plates. We have also stacked them in a decorative cello bag with a ribbon to give away to teachers and friends as seasonal gifts.
