Easy to make and perfectly soft cranberry white chocolate chip cookies.
Yes, a late cookie recipe... or is it?
Is it ever to late to eat cookies? Some would say, yes. The you better not be eating sweets after 6:00 pm people would say that.
I would say, no. It is never too late to have a cookie or two.
I say this as I type away writing this post while sitting on my couch eating some of these cranberry white chocolate chip cookies at 12:07 am.
And I say it without the tiniest bit of shame.
Why? Because eating cookies makes me happy and what is life without us being able to do something that makes us happy even if it's only once or twice every year? As long as it's not something that is damaging to anyone else, of course. Something like eating holiday cookies, at midnight, four days past Christmas day.
Wouldn't you want some cookies too?
I know you would.
Enjoy!
