Cranberry Kit-Kat Cookies are full of Kit-Kat crunch, cranberries,  white chocolate morsels, and frosted with a white chocolate ganache adorned with festive sprinkles.

Cranberry Kit-Kat Cookies

Welcome back to Christmas Cookies Week! My  recipe of the day is for Cranberry Kit-Kat Cookies with white chocolate chips and a white chocolate ganache frosting, adorned with gorgeous sprinkles from today’s   sponsor: Sprinkle Pop. I’ve  worked with them for Choctoberfest if you recall and did the Wizard Wands which were a huge hit at my house. We  all go a little nutty  for Harry Potter here and even have a gargoyle out front we named Mr. Gryffindor. Who, by the way, has been pouting (or appears to have some sort of smirky scowl)  since we wouldn’t feed him the wizard wands,  but munched those all ourselves.

And I hate to say it,  but the little blighter won’t be getting any of these either. They are just too good to share! We’ll  just have to watch our feet  when we stroll past him taking care he doesn’t bite our ankles.

I  told ya’ we were nutty.

And while most cookies like this rely on nuts- well, I got the idea to add some crunch with chopped up Kit-Kats to see how that went. They were already white chocolate coated so more of that including ganache wasn’t much of a stretch. And I  like the ganache better  than most frosting anyway, because…chocolate. Or at least white chocolate in this case.

And aren’t those sprinkles drop-dead  gorgeous?

Snowflakes, and stars, and candy canes and snowmen,  oh my! Much much better than Lions and Tigers and Bears.

Just don’t ask Mr.  Griffindor- he’s kinda’ partial to lions and he has my cats in cahoots with him  on that.

The cats won’t be getting any  cookies either. *snort* Although we do call their crunchy treats cookies and Sophia,  my kitty-girl, if she catches me with a cookie knows she gets crunchy treats in her favor. And she will not  be denied. Or  God help me in  the middle of the night….

I have to say these kind  of  cookies are some  of  my favorites- if you know me, I like most cookies with raisins. When  I was small, I loved the Hermits,  and later, Oatmeal cookies, but some years back when these dried cranberries starting coming out,  they were the bomb. I still get a little light headed with ecstasy nibbling on a Cranberry Bliss Bar– don’t you? Any reason  to whip up a cappuccino or  latte to go with seems legit, and those bars are very legit.

I  can’t tell you how much money I’ve saved instead of buying those from Starbucks–not because it’s that much, but they put these places in the grocery stores for me to sip & shop. So no,  I still  owe them most of my wallet. Have you tried that Gingerbread Eggnog  latte I made that is like one of their off-menu specials? I made the gingerbread syrup from scratch. You want that recipe if nothing else.

Am I making you fat just telling you  about all  these delicious things? Everything in moderation, my friends…and get thee to the gym  posthaste. With a cookie or  three in hand, because you  do have to  live.

I’ll be back tomorrow with my Palmiers recipe unless the world comes to an end. I shouldn’t jinx myself, because it  has happened before. It’s a busy week  all the way through, with more cookies on Thursday. Stay tuned!
