Toffee Cranberry Cookies

If you like chewy cookies, then you are going to enjoy these! My husband doesn't generally eat sweets, but he loves these cookies. The recipe was given to me by a co-worker, who photocopied it from a church cookbook, so I don't know who the original credit goes to. I have modified it slightly from the original so this recipe shows a bit less sugar than the original...but I don't think you'll notice. I hope you enjoy!
