If you want to add nuts to this recipe, I suggest using 1/3 cup of chopped nuts, only 1 cup dried fruit, and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Any more and there may not be enough batter to keep it all together.

Pecans, walnuts and macadamia nuts pair well with the cranberries!

Another extra note that didn't fit:

This recipe is a great base to customize! You can replace the cranberries with an even amount of basically any dried fruit (just be sure to chop it up into smaller chunks if you're using something bigger than a raisin).

I just made these again, so I feel like sharing the best cookie recipe I've ever found. Source is off the side of a holiday baking display shelf in a grocery store from 2020? 2019?

Cranberry chocolate chews, aka the best cookie you may ever eat.

See ALT text for #recipe and extra notes!

White Chocolate Cranberry Chews

Makes roughly 48 small cookies or 24 medium cookies

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 room temperature egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup or 1 stick of room temperature unsalted butter

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (I actually recommend doing this step right before putting the dough on the cookie sheet to save electricity/gas!)
2. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside
3. Whisk flour, salt and baking soda together and set aside
4. Cream the butter with an electric mixer
5. Add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy
6. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat well
7. Slowly add flour to the sugar mixture and blend
8. Stir in the cranberries and chocolate chips with a spoon
9. Place teaspoon (for 48 cookies) or tablespoon (for 24 cookies) sized balls of dough onto cookie sheets and evenly space them apart
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes (for electric ovens, exactly 9 minutes is perfect, exactly 8 minutes is perfect for gas ovens)

Extra notes:
- If you decide to save the dough for later, be aware that refrigerated dough WILL take longer to bake, so will frozen. Refrigerated dough took me about 3-4 extra minutes to bake. I have not tried it from frozen.
- These cookies WILL look raw even when you have baked them enough! Let the cookies cool completely and poke one in the center with the tip of your finger. It should feel buttery, and a little squishy or spongy. If it's still raw, it will feel more like the batter before it was baked. If you're still worried, popping the cookie in a microwave for 30 seconds or in a toaster oven at 350°F for 2-4 minutes should do the trick.

恋盛り/ our usual façade.
✦【 #art, #illust 】

A green-skinned figure embraces a cocoon that shimmers in muddy pine, rust, and orange colors. It almost looks like oil slick. The patterns on the cocoon appear to resemble eyes— petals that wrap around the figure's body. It smiles, a hollow black smile, its scarlet eyes gazing at the viewer with glee. The distorted text, "蛾想" (Rough translation: "Mothoughts", Moth + Thoughts) is written on the image, fitted between the cocoon's petals.

This is a fanart of Yugica-P's song, Gasou. For this piece, I was inspired by Gustav Klimt's painting, "The Kiss", which is thought to depict a tender and passionate true love. I thought it would be interesting to illustrate a maggot-infested, all-consuming love instead.

The same image as the left, but zoomed out— you can see the whole cocoon in this image, dripping with viscous fluid. The droplets form the words "恋情", meaning love sickness.

Wow, is this a horrible time to still be looking for new insurance after losing mine or what...

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @warnock.senate.gov · 11d

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.
