This is an easy to make Cranberry Lemon Cookie. It has
become my favorite cookie recipe. Most of the ingredients are
basic. The cranberries can be purchased at any Wal-Mart. The
lemon peel is a little more difficult to find. I use lemon peel
granules and I was only able to find them in a specialty store.
The lemon peel isn't necessary in the recipe but I thought it added a
nice flavor touch. Citrus peel can also be used which can be
purchased in any grocery store. I hope you like this recipe. It is now
one of my favorite cookie recipes!

This is an original recipe that I made with my mother when she came
out to visit. My mother has a great touch with cooking from scratch.
This recipe is very easy to make. I keep baggies made up of the dry
ingredients on hand and then can quickly make a batch at any time.
This is a great snack with milk or a hot drink. It has quite a
bit of natural sweetness from the cranberries and lemon peel so the
quantity of sugar is small.
