Weigh Low: Chocolate Cranberry Christmas Cookies

Merry Christmas readers!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous holiday season filled with love from friends and family.

Tonight I'm headed to my grandparents house for what will undoubtedly be an extravagant dinner. And although my Grandpa's wife is very good at accommodating my ridiculous nutritional requests, dessert is still a territory that she keeps traditional for those of us not obsessed with eating healthy.

So to ensure that there will be something sweet for me to snack on, I'm bringing my own baked goods.
