I received these delightful cookies for Christmas a few years ago. I was watching my diet, but I couldn't stay away from them! The tart cranberries blend beautifully with the sweet chocolate and vanilla chips. —Jo Ann McCarthy, Canton, Massachusetts

These cookies are very good. I used all butter instead of half butter, half shortening. They cookies were moist and delicious and all the guests at my dinner party raved about them.

This is an excellent Christmas/Winter cookie. Delightfully good! My family loved them especially with a hot cup of coffee or tea. I made them with and without nuts to take to a Christmas party at work today. Rave reviews and not one left. Several asked for the recipe. Easy too. Makes a few more than 70. I found 11 minutes was perfect using a stone baking sheet.

This is a wonderful cookie - I made according to the recipe and liked the abundance of chips, cranberries and nuts. I used butter flavored shortening. Will keep this one handy for future cookie baking.

These are so good! We like them better without vanilla chips (or with less) and with mini chocolate chips (and a smaller amount of them) to cut down on the chocolate a bit, but with even a few more cranberries thrown in!

I WOULD make these cookies again, if only I get them them to turn out correctly! I have tried this recipe at least 3 different time, and each time they do not turn out. Once in the oven, everything goes wrong, and nothing seems to remedy this. Each time I make them, I anticipate that they will turn out, but so far something seems to have been wrong. :-(

I brought a different type of cookie each week to a workshop I was attending. Out of 5 types of cookies this was the handsdown favorite! I used 1 cup of butter instead of the butter/shortening mix, and left the nuts out because it was in a school (nut allergies). Rich, flavorful, DELICIOUS!!!!

I made these for Thanksgiving at work and at home. Everyone loved them. I made the recipe as is for the first batch to work. My husband was not so sure about them. he said they were too fruity, so for the 2nd batch I halved the chips, pecans, and cranberries. They were much better and more of a cookie than fruit and nuts with a cookie shell. Still great and I will make them again. I am going to try these for a cookie exchange with cherries and see how that turns out.
