For Dessert Tonight – White Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Cookies!
Usually I make chocolate chip cookies around Christmas time, but this year I wanted to do something different. I found this recipe by Trisha Yearwood that used white chocolate chips and cranberries along with macadamia nuts. It sounded really good and it was something I hadn’t tried yet. I stayed true to her recipe with the exception of the nut, I used pecans instead of Macadamia nuts.
These are SO good! The pecans were awesome in this cookie. I’m so glad that I tried something a little different. The next time you bake cookies, I hope you will try this recipe!
