"These crisp cookies are especially popular at Thanksgiving and Christmas with a cup of hot tea or coffee," reports Gloria Anderson of Paso Robles, California. It's convenient to bake a batch, too, because you can store the dough in the fridge until needed.

I've been making these since the recipe was first printed. Very tasty! I sprinkle them with sugar before baking.

They where OK but nothing that I would make over and over.

I love cranberry cookies, and these are especially nice with fresh cranberries - you get that little bite of something extra special. I drizzle these with melted white chocolate - a cookie exchange hit for sure!
