Pumpkin Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
Posted by Tracy | Filed under desserts & sweets
Sunday was the first time I’ve ever been tailgating, and it was a blast. Hubby’s family supplied most of the food, but I really wanted to contribute something, so I was trying to think of portable desserts. Brownies, cookies – anything bite-size, really. I settled on cookies since I already had some chocolate chip cookies lying around, but [...]
