White chocolate and cranberry cookies!
/My neighbors across the street just moved in and I was thinking if cookies in a pandemic even made sense but my hospitable side won over my inner social distancer …And, then emboldened by a desire to be friendly in the midst of what has got to be a hard time to get moved in, looking for recipes I went. I baked these beauties to drop off with my neighbors in a socially distanced drop off on their porch and they did not disappoint. Cookies should be their own tiny little lantern of light and these are. They would be lovely at a tea party because they’re light, and sweet and a little bit decadent. This year I did not make as much fudge as I normally make (I made and actual single batch for my gram) so I had leftover white chocolate chips aplenty, my recipe search honestly focused on my desire to put them to good use in this recipe.
When they were well received I breathed a sigh of relief I made Doctor Fauci proud and still managed to be welcoming… I even had some leftover for my parents!
The dough is very basically pretty traditional chocolate chip cookie dough sans chocolate plus craisens and white chocolate chips. Enjoy!
