Cranberry Walnut Muffins

Whipped up this batch of cranberry walnut muffins for a friend who did me a huge favour by helping me to get stuff form her biz trip to the US. Made them with wholemeal flour for that healthy goodness :)

Cranberry Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

It's been ages since I last baked shortbread cookies. It would be a nice change from the usual crunchy/chewy cookies I have been baking. Shortbread is full of butter, and yeah, lots of butter goes into each little cookie. Sounds sinful but heck, what's life is you don't "sin" once in a while :p I found the sweet chocolate chips nicely balanced out the taste of the slightly tart dried cranberries.

It was a nice change and the cranberries added a new texture to the moist, buttery cookie. Hubby wasn't too keen on the cranberries hidden in each cookie, but having said that, he personally isn't a fan of dried fruits, be it raisins or sultanas or cranberries. I guess it's a personal preference. Hmmm...but somehow, the cookies still disappeared pretty quickly into his tummy :o hahaha...
