Being Japanese, I use panko for any kind of dishes.
Panko is a great ingredients and makes everything taste great!
I created this recipe using some of my mother’s panko cookies she used to make when I was a little girl.
Adding panko makes crispy and savory cookies like toasted bread. Since these are for the holidays, I added dried cranberries to make them sparkle and also added sweetened cocoa powder to make more delicious cookies.

- 2 cups panko

Directions:
In a bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar. Mix until frosty and fluffy.
Add cocoa powder, panko and all-purpose flour. Mix well.
Add milk and dried cranberries. Mix until well blended. (Don’t need to knead the dough).

Take about 1 tablespoon of the dough, place on your palm, with your palms flatten to 2.5 inch in diameter and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
