Lunar New Year is just two weeks away. Normally families will prepare traditional Chinese cookies like peanut cookies at home. I feel like we should try something different this year. Almond & Cranberries cookies are a mix of Chinese and Western recipes. This recipe is egg-less and has lower sugar.
