These taste GREAT! Want to make them REALLY festive looking? Melt white chocolate chips or almond bark with a spoonful of vegetable shortening. Let cool. Put in a piping bag and pipe "drizzles" across each cookie.

This is a great fast recipe my entire family loved! It also freezes well! I've made it several times and it was a big hit at the family reunion!

Made these cookies today, but made them using a 3-lb. tub of cookie dough which I had purchaed from the bakery dept. Since I used a 3-lb tub of cookie dough, I added 2-1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, 1-1/2 cups of ivory white chips, then divided the dough in half, and to one half I added 3/4 cup of dried cranberries, and to the other, I added 3/4 cup of dried cherries, and to both halves I added, 3/4 cup of chopped pecans. I used my Pampered Chef

medium scoop (2 tablespoon scoop) to make each cookie, then I rolled each into a dough ball, and then flattened each somewhat onto a Pampered Chef Stoneware to bake the cookies. Baked the cookies exactly for 15 minutes. Mmm, both kinds of cookies tasted good, but personally I think I prefer the dried cranberries over the dried cherries. Louise, these cookies were very good, and I'd like to thank you for the recipe.

Store did not have refrigerated sugar cookie dough, so I bought the packets of cookie mix and followed the directions for drop cookies. I added in the other ingredients from the recipe. They were delicious!

I made a batch to take to work and they didn't even last until 9:00! VERY GOOD!!! My office crew are my "guinea pigs" and they love it when I bring in new treats. This is definitely a keeper!
