About

aking your regular chocolate chip to the next level.
Soft and chewy full of chocolate chips, those cookie’s flavor is unparalleled by any other recipe. And when you add dried cranberries and white chocolate to it, the flavor is exponentially off the charts. A very straight forward recipe that is amazingly delicious and that turns out perfectly every single time.
I created this recipe over 10 years ago and like clockwork, it is the first recipe that my family asks for under the holidays.   I really love to use and mix dark chocolate with white chocolate.  The blended flavor is just sinful and additive at every bite. But not all kinds of chocolate. Ghirardelli or Guittard and bittersweet chocolate for the dark chocolate. I love to use bittersweet, dark chocolate, the flavor is deeper. Cranberries are my favorite and use them as often as I possibly can in my cooking. Leave them whole or chop them, I leave that up to you.
