I like these cookies just the way they are, but if you want to fancy them up for guests, you can drizzle a pretty frosting like effect on top.
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 TBSP skim or 1% milk
- 1 tsp Organic cranberry sauce
Blend, and drizzle in a fun pattern over the top of warm cookie, let them cool before serving.
Enjoy!!!!!
