White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

These are some of our family's favorite cookies. They come out perfect every time. If there is an event where we have to bring cookies this is easily our default. We have used other dried fruits in place of the cranberries like blueberries and cherries, and the recipe worked great.

These cookies got brought to work recently for homemade cookie day
