..White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies

OH YEAH. These super tasty monsters were created from the recipe provided on the back of the Ghirardelli white chocolate chip package (slightly altered).  They called for macadamia nuts, I just switched that out for dried cranberries.  End result = sweet sweet deliciousness!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups white chocolate chips (11 oz)

1 1/4 cups dried cranberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º. Cream together butter and sugars until combined well (scrape down the sides). add vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, and baking soda.  Slowly (add about a cup at a time) the dry ingredients to the mixture little at a time. Once batter is completely combined, fold in the white chocolate chips and the dried cranberries.  I used a tablespoon to scoop them onto the baking sheet to make them evenly sized.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just beginning to brown.
