Cranberry Macadamia Cookies

Okay, last cranberry recipe.

Rating: 7/10
Why: Everything is a 10 EXCEPT for the fresh cranberries. Bad choice. These cookies would be perfect if only I had used craisins instead. I realize now that fresh cranberries don't belong in cookies. They are just too tart and don't work. From now on I will strictly stick them in muffins and...chutneys. (?) Lol. So make this recipe with craisins and you will have perfect cookies!
