Author Notes

These cookies are one of my favorite holiday treats. Tangy, nutty, and not too sweet. Pumpkin pie spice adds a hint of warmth to round out the flavors. These cookies go well with coffee and tea. —Edgy Veggie Bytes

Thank you for pointing that out- I didn't realize the ingredient list isn't complete! It is 1/4 cup each of walnuts, craisins, apricot, and chocolate chips.
