I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really liked these cookies. The raisins and nuts balanced out the tartness of the cranberries perfectly.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover cranberries and raisins. I also like that they're not too sweet.

These cookies were absolutely delicious! They had the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the cranberries and raisins, and the nuts added a nice crunch. I also loved the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.
