What a pleasant "Christmas-sy" flavor! Loved the addition of orange zest! I also used dried cranberries because my fresh ones weren't so fresh anymore and they came out great! I couldn't keep these on our cookie tray at work! (They tend to get dry by the end of the day, though...so you may want to throw a piece of saran wrap over them if they are going to 'sit out'.) Also I baked mine for only 9 minutes and they were perfect. Thanks as usual MizzNezz. Holiday or no holiday...your recipes rock!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
