Cranberry Cookies
 
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup Craisins or Dried Cranberries, chopped

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add in the flour slowly until combined. Stir in dried cranberries. I add 1/2 cup chopped Pistachios. 
Make cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Place dough onto cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from baking sheet; cool on cooling rack.

To make flat cookies, form dough into 1-inch balls as directed above. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar flatten balls on cookie sheet, making rounds 2-inches in diameter. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. 

This is a nice cookie to serve throughout the Holiday Season!

Creamy Lemon Soup...

Suzy Bee’s Kitchen
Lemon Soup

Ingredients: 

2 Cups Cooked Rice
4 Cups Chicken Broth
2 Lg Eggs
3 TBSP Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to Taste

In a large pot bring broth to a boil, reduce heat add rice and simmer for 10~12 minutes. While broth is simmering whisk eggs and fresh lemon juice, add a 1/2 cup of broth gradually to egg mixture, add one more 1/2 cup of broth to egg mixture and pour egg mixture into pot.  Whisk mixture together gently, then take your immersion blender and blend soup until you have the right consistency. Continue cooking soup until it thickens.

This soup brings back a very fond memory. It’s comforting as well as nourishing. I like to serve this soup with toasted sourdough bread and infused garlic butter, accompanied by infused cucumber water.

~Cheers~
