No matter which version you bake, the best part of making Cranberry Pecan Cookies is how surprisingly wonderful they taste! Fresh cranberries give these cookies a bright tartness that is a welcome contrast to the spicy richness of other treats on my holiday cookie plate.
Easy to make, wonderfully fragrant and delicious, these are now a holiday favorite at our house. To make these little Peppernuts I doubled the quantity of ground spices in the original recipe and added some clear sugar crystals for sparkle and crunch. Try these little bite-sized cookies to enjoy the flavor and fragrance of the season.

A rich blend of candied ginger and holiday spices adds a lingering warmth to the robust flavor of these delicious cookies.

Over the years I have I learned some great ways to beat the heat. Using a microwave oven to make these delicious Buttermilk Pralines, a sweet treat that is traditionally cooked on a stovetop, is a fantastic adaptation when temperatures soar.
