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.
