White Chocolate Chip, Cranberry, Macadamia Cookies

Picture and recipe from Kneaders Bakery featured on Good Things Utah

· 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature

· 1 cup packed brown sugar

· 1 cup white sugar

· 2 eggs

· 1 Tablespoon vanilla

· 3 cups all-purpose flour

· 1 teaspoon baking soda

· 1 ½ cup white chocolate chips

· 1 ½ cup dried cranberries

· 1 cup macadamia nuts chopped.


Preparation: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with pan release. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. Combine the flour and baking soda and stir into the sugar mixture. Do not over beat as this will cause the cookies to be tough. Fold in white chocolate chips, cranberries and nuts. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto the cookie sheets. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes until slightly brown on the edges. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before placing them on a cooling rack.

I made these tonight and they are delicious. I will definitely make them again.
