With more time on my hands, I have had the opportunity to create some cookie recipes. Since I am now, primarily gluten and dairy-free, it’s harder for me to have sweets. It’s a bummer. But, not this time, this Cranberry and Macadamia Nut Cookie recipe is super easy to make and I was so happy that the gluten-free cookie mix box indicated a suggestion on how to make it dairy-free too.

It’s that easy. The Macadamia Nut and Cranberry Cookie recipe can be made for anyone, but especially for those who have food sensitivities. It was crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. I'm definitely going to make this one again.
