kris kringle cookies

YUM! my sister, gina and i came across this recipe a couple of years ago and they have definitely become a christmas staple in my house! my son, oliver and i made this batch for santa (if they last through the night lol)

Kris Kringle Cookies
from http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/big-batch-kris-kringle-cookies-57539.aspx


*this picture does not do these cookies justice!

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup  granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2   eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2-1/4 cups  flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp.  salt
1 package white chocolate chips
2 cups  chopped Pecans
2 cups dried cranberries
 
HEAT oven to 350ºF.
BEAT butter and sugars in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in chocolate, nuts and cranberries.
DROP rounded tablespoonfuls of dough, 1-1/2 inches apart, onto baking sheets. * i find that for best results you should put the dough in the fridge in between batches going in the oven (does that make sense?)
BAKE 9 to 11 min. or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 3 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
