Next time I&#39;m in a kitchenware store, guess what I&#39;ll be looking for?!! Thanks for that handy tip and have a great holiday weekend!<br /><br />~CleoCleo Coylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-42531408951112623892009-11-27T13:19:02.343-05:002009-11-27T13:19:02.343-05:00I love the way you&#39;re thinking! I have to say, my cranberry sauce was pretty rockin&#39; this year. It&#39;d be perfect in these.<br /><br />Also, my mom always flattened her cookies with a &quot;special&quot; glass that had a pretty pattern on the bottom. Now I&#39;m wondering if she has it stashed away somewhere!Janelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00823616282284779390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-61464051028078182702009-11-27T10:59:20.847-05:002009-11-27T10:59:20.847-05:00Molly - Very good ideas!<br /><br />Avery - Oooh, I like that idea.

We&#39;ll see. I&#39;ll report back. Cranberries require that extra sugar because of their zing.Avery Aameshttp://www.averyaames.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-23459562136487753922009-11-27T08:45:24.684-05:002009-11-27T08:45:24.684-05:00Great idea! How about adding some orange zest and a few walnuts? <br /><br />mollyMollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15895600338510774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-79216106819378704532009-11-27T08:31:54.787-05:002009-11-27T08:31:54.787-05:00Elizabeth/Riley - I think my next go-round with these babies will be to increase the vanilla, kill the egg and baking powder, and decrease the cranberries a bit more. Essentially, I&#39;m going to go for more of a shortbread cookie. I&#39;d also like to try making them as refrigerator cookies (rolling dough into log and slicing up evenly). I think a dozen cooks would come up with a dozen different ways to try improving on this.<br /><br />Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!<br />~Cleo<br /><a href="http://www.coffeehousemystery.com/" rel="nofollow"> Coffeehouse Mystery.com</a><br />“Where coffee and crime are always brewing…”<br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/cleocoyle/" rel="nofollow"> Cleo Coyle on Twitter</a>Cleo Coylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-80584197432420609452009-11-27T08:23:50.654-05:002009-11-27T08:23:50.654-05:00I really like this idea, Cleo! Cranberries are so delish--there&#39;s got to be a good way to incorporate them into cookies! I&#39;m going to have to give this recipe a go...it sure sounds good to me.<br /><br />Elizabeth/RileyElizabeth Spann Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.com
