Okay!
Will you kill me if I suggest a recipe that tastes fantastic but turns hard as heck the next day?!
Seriously people!
This is a really good, tasty, scrumptious, addicting cookie that I just love!
I'm not gonna lie...one day later and these things get harder than woodpecker's lips!
But you know what?
I don't care!
It's worth losing a filling or two!
Ok, all kidding aside...yes these cookies get hard and crunchy. Are they still edible...yes! Is the combination of chocolate, coconut, oats and cranberries awesome...yes! Should you make these anyhow...yes! Should you put on a pot of coffee or tea...yes!
Here's the recipe...you're gonna love it! Come on, just try it..you'll see.
Hey, every single one of these cookies were gobbled up by both my kids, my husband and me...with no complaints. Well, except one...my youngest thinks the dried cranberries are raisins and he hates raisins...which, dried cranberries, raisins...not much difference there. Ok, fine!
By the way, I used coconut flavored M&m's because that's what I had on hand.
You can use plain M&M's or whatever flavor you have on hand! There are some really great options out there these days when it comes to M&M's.
Here's the recipe. I hope you give it a try!
