Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c butter softened (2 sticks)
1 c granulated sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 pkg Baker's White Chocolate Bars, 4 oz each, coarsely chopped,
2 c chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts
2 c dried cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • 2. Beat butter and sugars on medium speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • 3. Blend in eggs and vanilla.
  • 4. Gradually add the flour mixture.
  • 5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chunks, nuts, and cranberries.
  • 6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a cookie sheet, 1 ½ inches apart.
  • 7. Bake from 9 - 11 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • 8. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before moving to a rack to complete the cool down. Store in an airtight container.
  • 9. Dough can be made ahead of time and frozen. For slice and bake cookies, make dough then roll into a log shape. Double wrap with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to use. Then simply thaw, slice and bake. Dough can also be rolled into balls, frozen in a plastic freezer bag and thawed when ready to use. Place thawed cookie dough balls onto the cookie sheet and bake as directed.
