I had planned to sit down and write this post last Tuesday, as in a week and half ago, but…went into labor instead!!
Landon David Blackwood was born 11/02/16 at 6:30pm
It was an intense 25 hours but we made it through and couldn’t be happier after our first week at home. I will be sure to share Landon’s birth story as well as constant photo updates soon!
We have spent the last week getting comfortable and acquainted with our new little man, learning all his little nuances and just enjoying his already fun personality.
I went into labor at 41 weeks pregnant. In that last week when I was past due, I did a lot of cleaning, organizing and cooking. These cookies are one of the things I made and they were SO delicious!! Perfect amount of sweet and savory!
Cranberry Almond Chocolate Cookies
16 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup chopped almonds
sea salt, for sprinkling
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a large bowl (stand mixer if you have one) cream together the butter and sugars. Scrape down the side of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla. Beat until combined.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add to the butter mixture and stir just until combined. Add in the cranberries, chocolate and almonds and stir until they are mixed in.
4. Scoop cookies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 14 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sea salt Allow to cool a few minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
