Cranberry & Nuts Slice and Bake Cookies are totally on theme for Christmas. The cookie is deliciously crumbly and dipped in dark chocolate for the perfect level of indulgence.
The best part about slice and bake cookies is that they’re so easy to make – all you have to is form the dough into a log, then…slice…and bake. Simple, right?
If you’re not a fan of nuts and dried fruit, you can totally customise this recipe with chocolate chunks or chocolate chips and maybe some candy like chopped m&m’s!
As always, let me know if you make them, I’d love to see!
Happy indulging,
