White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

by aimee @ shugarysweets on January 5, 2012

I had never eaten a white chocolate with cranberry cookie. Ever. So don’t judge me if these are not what you were expecting. I took my basic cookie dough recipe and made them festive.

And in the process I fell in love.

Why didn’t anyone ever tell me how GOOD these cookies taste? What a perfect combination of flavors. If you have never tried them, go ahead. Live a little this year!

I never thought I would like a cookie like this… I mean it doesn’t have any chocolate… but I made some very similar around Christmas and they were so good!!

I love white chocolate cranberry cookies. Very, very much. Yours look delicious. Wonderfully delicious.

Not to add more fat and calories or anything, but throw in some chopped macadamia nuts next time.
