Have you ever heard of Hootycreeks? I hadn't until a White Elephant
gift exchange this holiday season when Rylan received two pretty mixes
for cookies in a jar. One was for a cookie called Cranberry Hootycreeks.
What an unusual name! Does anyone have an idea where this creative
cookie and unusual name came from? I looked it up online to see if I
could find more information and found the recipe on the Christmas Organized website and at All Recipes.
It appears that the name Hooty Creek comes from the business name
chosen by the couple who developed this tasty cookie. They made "cookie
in a jar" mixes that they sold at bazaars and craft fairs. The Hooty
Creek mixes became popular and this recipe, which combines dried
cranberries, white chocolate chips, and nuts became an instant hit.
They've been called Cranberry Hootycreeks ever since. And now we know.
It's fun to learn something new every day, isn't it!
