Chock-full of cranberries, chocolate chips and nuts, these cookies are fun to eat. They offer a change of pace from traditional Christmas cookies...but don't wait until December to make them. My family requests them all year-round.

I am making these again right now... I took them to my family gathering and had good reviews. I love the chocolate chip mixed with green mints, it adds a nice Christmas flavor AND color. They are my new chocolate chip cookie!! Thanks a bunch!

These cookies are the best cookies ever! I made a batch and took them to work and they disappeared so fast I have had to promise to make more.

I use white chips instead of chocolate, and leave out the toffee bits. Be sure to use real butter--it DOES make a difference! These are now my all time favorite cookies!!

That's a lot of flavor to pack into one cookie. Do you think I could use just the toffee or just the chocolate with the cranberries?

These cookies are GREAT with white chocolate chips, I recently made them that way. Another little touch that makes them even yummier is to toast the pecans after you chop them. It adds a really nice nutty flavor.

I think these would be sooooo good with white chocolate chips instead of semisweet.

I brought a plate of these into the office, and a co-worker told me they were the best cookies he'd ever tasted. They're good without the chocolate chips, too--I got to that point in the recipe before realizing that I had no chocolate chips in the freezer. I baked the cookies anyway.
