Cranberry Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These cranberry walnut chocolate chunk cookies are the perfect holiday treat. The cranberries add just the right amount of tartness to this buttery, chocolaty cookie.
The only holiday cookie you really need. I am not sure what it is about this time of the year, but there’s literally cookies everywhere. I guess its because Santa eats cookies? Anyway, I love a good chocolate chunk cookie. Chocolate chunks have a way of dispersing themselves throughout cookies in a different manner than chocolate chips do. I recommend grabbing a good quality dark chocolate bar for this recipe. They make the tastiest chocolate chunks.
