Cranberry and white chocolate is one of my favorite combinations! These cookies did not disappoint. My 5 year old and her friend helped me make this recipe; measuring ingredients and pushing extra chocolate chips and cranberries (I used pomegranate flavored) into the tops of the dough balls before baking. I used really good vanilla (my homemade isn't ready for another couple of months) and am glad I did because with one Tablespoon of it, vanilla is a dominant flavor in this recipe. I used a 2-teaspoon sized cookie scoop (Oxo brand/size small) to measure the dough and we ended up with 60 cookies. My ovens cook a little hot, and that combined with smaller cookies than the recipe suggests, convinced me to reduce the bake time after the first batch got a tad crispy at 15 minutes. I liked the results best at about 13 minutes and then one minute cooling on the pan, but I'm a soft-cookie girl. :) Thanks for sharing this recipe, CollegeCulinista! Made & enjoyed for the Spring 2012 Pick-A-Chef event!
