My house is a major peanut butter house, so I pretty much can guarantee any cookie with peanut butter in it is not going to last long!
Of course, there is still a division when it comes to fruit and nuts, so I always have to make some ‘with’ and some ‘without’. {I’m sure I’m not the only one with this challenge!}
That’s exactly what I did with these cookies. I made two dozen before I added the dried cranberries and walnuts.
