Cookie swaps? Holiday parties? Aunt Jackie’s house? Erin McDowell’s easy cranberry-pecan sandwich cookies are the answer.
“These buttery cookies have a hint of nuttiness and a little touch of salt, which makes their slightly sour cranberry filling even more delectable,” the author of The Fearless Baker told us.
You can always use store-bought jam to save time, but we love how this homemade version makes our house smell like a holiday wonderland.
