I didn't have white chocolate chips so I used semi-sweet and it was still excellent. Dried cherries are also great instead of cranberries.

I read a couple of reviews about the dough being dry and crumbly; I experienced the exact same thing the first time I made these. My dough turned out like brown sugar; it did not even stick together when I put it on the cookie sheet. HOWEVER, I think my problem was that when I added the egg and vanilla, I beat the mixture way too long. There were some clumps of brown sugar that I wanted to smooth out so I beat it for five or more minutes. Today I tried the recipe again, and I only beat the egg and vanilla for about one minute before I started adding in the flour. Night and day difference! The dough was still a little dry compared to most cookie doughs, but it was very thick and stuck together GREAT when I put it on the cookie sheet. I use a small ice cream scoop; I made 12 cookies on my first cookie sheet and was able to get 15 on the second sheet. I baked for 9 minutes for soft, chewy cookies! Will definitely make these again!!

Very dry and crumbly dough. I had a bad feeling about them before they were put in the oven. I followed the recipe exactly, and they were nearly tasteless. I've make a lot of cookies, and thought these would be a nice change. I will not be making these again.

I've read several reviews stating there isn't enough moisture. Trust the recipe. Cookie dough isn't supposed to be wet, per se. It is a very good recipe, but I will probably try using 1/3 cup chocolate pieces because the chocolate kills a lot of the cranberry taste. I also added a hand of toasted, chopped, Georgia pecans. Very tasty cookie. My dad will love them! Thank you for sharing!

Excellent cookies! After reading another reviewer's comments, I added a little almond extract; otherwise made them as written.

P.S. Adding white chocolate drizzle will add a formal touch for any special occasion.

I made four batches last winter and they were perfect each time. They ship well, also.
