Easy White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
This is such an easy recipe and a family favorite. And, one of my sister’s favorite cookie recipe. Actually I got this recipe from her a while back and let me tell you just how yummy these are. If you love biting into a thick and chewy cookie, one that is soft and full of deliciousness, then this is the cookie for you.
Can you use fresh cranberries instead of dried cranberries?
Yes, you can but make sure they are fresh (and not fresh that been frozen and thawed out). If you use cranberries that have previously been frozen, the dough will have a pinkish color and it is not appealing. I know from experience. Fresh cranberries are super delicious and here is one of my popular cookie recipes using fresh cranberries.
What is the best way to store these cookies?
After the cookies have cooled completely, place the cookies in an air tight container or a large baggie that seals shut. These cookies freeze well so if you are wanting to freeze some, add about 5-6 cookies to a quart size freezer bag and place in the freezer.
