White Chocolate Macadamia Cranberry Dreams
This cookie is my take on the classic White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie. I’ve added dried cranberries to the dough and used white chocolate chips instead of macadamia nuts. The result is a delicious, chewy cookie with bursts of tart flavor from the cranberries and rich sweetness from the white chocolate.
