Heaven in the kitchen that's what it is when you are baking these cookies, the deep smell of the Grand Marnier mixed with the chocolate and cranberry does make an intoxicating smell (Maybe it was the shot of Grand Marnier in my coffee that made it smell so good)
In a small bowl mix together
2 1/2 cups Sweetened Dried Cranberries
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
Set aside and let soak together
In a Microwave proof bowl place
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Microwave on High till melted 1 1/2 minutes stir and set
aside to cool
In your mixer bowl place
2 large eggs plus 1 yolk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 almond extract
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
mix well then blend on high for approx 2 minutes
Add 2/3 cups flour
and the chocolate mixture and mix well
Add the cranberry mixture to the cookies
add 1 3/4 cups additional semi sweet chocolate chip
blend to mix
Dough portion will be very soft, drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes cookies will be cracked on top and firm to the touch in the center. Enjoy
