Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies

Yes, I was on a cookie kick last weekend when I came up with these Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies! I originally started off making these Chocolate Chip Cookies, but I ended up splitting the dough and I wanted to do something more creative than chocolate chips with the second half of the dough.

So, I dug through the cabinets and found some leftover dried cranberries and about 4 bags of white chocolate chips. Apparently, I buy them and forget to use them.

I have to be honest, my kids were not thrilled with this idea, but I promised they would be good. They kids reluctantly tried them and wouldn’t ya know it….they agreed that they were good. They did say they weren’t as good as chocolate chip cookies, but they happily ate a second (and third) cookie. So, I suppose these are more of an adult cookie since the kids don’t seem to fond of the tart cranberries!

Cranberries and White Chocolate are such a wonderful flavor combination. White chocolate is so incredibly sweet and adding in tart cranberries really helps balance the sweetness of the white chocolate.
