Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies are the perfect holiday cookie!

The holidays are officially here and Thanksgiving is done and over with. I spent most of last week with my kiddos. They had a half day on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving so we did a lot of family friendly activities prior to Thanksgiving. I love baking but having the kids home during the holidays is fun because they love to help me with the cooking.

My middle kiddo LOVES to bake. She constantly asks if she can make something. We occasionally make eggless cookie dough and she also loves to make mug cakes. Both are easy to make and perfect for kids to help measure and stir.

During the holidays we like to make cookies to share with friends and family. Our favorite is chocolate chip but this year I wanted to add in some cranberries for something different. We spent Thanksgiving evening at my parents house so we spent the morning baking, and these Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies were on our to-do list. They have the perfect amount of chocolate with just a hint of tart dried cranberries.
