Delicious! I made these as part of my Christmas cookies and these were the best of a very tasty group. So easy! I did find the dough a little bit challenging to work with when rolling into a ball, but every other step went so smoothly. I love the hazelnut, cranberry, white chocolate combo. Truly an exceptional cookie!

What an easy, tasty treat! I couldn't find hazelnuts, so subbed in slivered almonds. I separated the dough into two equal parts and used dried cranberries in one portion and dried apricots in the other. The dough was pretty sticky at room temp, but it all came together pretty easily. I dipped a few of the cookies in white chocolate, but got lazy and decided to fling chocolate over the tops instead. That was fun. I can see so many variations on this theme, I'll be revisiting this recipe in the future. Made for PAC Spring 2009.
