And just like that, it’s time to start Holiday Baking again. This year, I’ve made fewer cookies, and included some other confections in my repertoire. King Arthur Baking share a couple of recipes over the last week that I am working on for family and friend homemade gifts. The contrast of cranberries, roasted pecans, and sweet chocolate, easy and quick way it comes together and a decent yield (2 dozen pieces) makes it a keeper! Visit the KAB recipe post for the nutritional information – and why spoil such a good treat, but there you have it.
