Source: Tallahassee Democrat, Dec. ’04

Ingredients

• ½ cup Butter, Softened
• ½ cup Packed Brown Sugar
• ½ cup White Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Brandy Or Vanilla
• 1½ cups All-Purpose Flour
• ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
• ¾ cups White Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Dried Cranberries (See Note)

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheets. In large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth.

Beat in egg and brandy or vanilla.

Combine flour and baking soda; stir into sugar mixture. Mix in white chocolate chips and cranberries.

Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes. For best results, remove from oven while still soft. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet.

Notes

Trader Joe’s dried orange-flavored cranberries are really good in this.
