Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes for the holidays. Very rarely do I make this cookie with white chocolate chips. Typically, I substitute the white chocolate for dark chocolate chips. Both variations though are very good. I typically yield 30 cookies.


Preheat oven to 375 degrees 

INGREDIENTS 

1/2 c. butter, softened 
1/2 c. packed brown sugar 
1/2 c. white sugar 
1 egg
1 T. brandy 
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 
1/2 t. baking soda 
1 c. white chocolate chips 
1 c. dried cranberries 

DIRECTIONS 

Cream together butter and sugars. Mix in the egg and brandy. Mix in the flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips and cranberries. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop cookies onto lightly greased cookie sheet- leaving about an inch and a half between cookies. Bake for 8-10 minutes. I usually take mine out at 8 minutes.  Let cool on pan for about 2 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling rack. 

YUM!!
