White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

My sister Brooke’s friend Christine brought these White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies to our Holiday Cookie Swap. You guys all know how much I love cranberry anything (well, except cranberry juice – blech), so I’m sure you can imagine how excited I was about these. They’re soft and chewy with the perfect combination of sweetness and tartness from the white chocolate and cranberry. They just taste like the holidays to me.

    Thank you so much for making these… I was looking for something to use up 5 ounces of cream cheese, and this looks great. And added bonus- it will also use up one of the many bags of cranberries in my freezer!

    omgosh, I loved these. I’m not supposed to have dairy right now, but I snuck a tiny bite. SO. good. I didn’t have any ginger and subbed 1/2 cup of oats for 1/2 cup of the flour. Really delicious and really easy!

      What a great substitution! I’m lactose intolerant so I use the Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese. Have you tried it?

    No, I can’t have soy, either. It’s for my daughter – she doesn’t tolerate dairy or soy and I’m still nursing her. It’s been a very boring (culinarily speaking) 8 months!

      Oh bummer! Not being able to eat dairy or soy must be tough!
