A lovely little cookie recipe that’s good as an on-the-go breakfast [try crumbled over some yoghurt], an afternoon snack [try it dunked in your tea], or as something small after dinner [try broken up and stirred through ice cream]. We love the combination of the sweet but slightly tangy cranberries with the rich pecans – it’s a little nod to autumn and we’re here for it!
