Cookies!!

So I just finished talking about grey days. You know one thing that I really find enjoyable on grey days? Baking cookies. Or bread. Or cinnamon rolls. Or potatoes. (You just can't go wrong with dem good ole' carbs.) Most importantly, I like eating them afterward. Anyways, I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite recipes- Cranberry Almond "AWESOME" Cookies. You will not be disappointed. (Or so I'm told).
