Easy Homemade Peanut Butter Cranberry Drops


Here's another interesting and easy drop cookie recipe for Peanut Butter Cranberry Drops.

What makes it interesting is that is pairs peanut butter with cranberries.

What makes it easy is that it all starts with a package of refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough.

Can't get too much simpler than that!

This recipe calls for iced cookies - which complements the cookie flavors perfectly, but of course you can always choose to leave the icing off.

Or, if you have picky eaters, ice some and leave some plain - the choice is yours.

But be warned, the icing is made with cranberry juice and it really adds to the flavor the dried cranberries give to these peanutty drop cookies.

Testimonials

"I have been researching and trying a number of recipes to make a healthy cookie similar to one that our Gym coffee shop sells for $3.50! This particular recipe was adapted so instead of bars I made thick round cookies and cooked them just underdone so they were soft and chewy. They were a hit with all the girls. Thanks for the great recipe."
