I have always loved this flavor of cookie, but the last time a made them was a couple years ago and they were from a mix (gasp!). I don’t actually have anything against mixes, but I do like having control over just how perfectly my cookie tastes. I’m a control freak like that. 😉
And these babies are just like I like them – full of cranberries and white chocolate, and soft and chewy. They’re also pretty big cookies. The more, the merrier I say. And this is a merry time of year.
And guess who was merry this weekend! Yes, I was. But mostly is was Jessie (our black lab). She turned 3 on Friday! I can’t believe she’s already 3. She’ll always be my baby. 🙂
I got her a nice big bone, a doggie birthday cake and she had a day at doggie daycare.
Now I know what you’re thinking. She’s a dog. She doesn’t even know it’s her birthday and you’ve done all that! Well, yes. Yes I did. I’d swear she knows all! She has such personality, it’s amazing. And since we don’t have kids and she is the first dog I’ve ever had, she is spoiled to the max. It took me a good few months to not go buy her a new toy every couple of weeks. You think I’m kidding? The hubs was going to have me banned from pet stores. It was bad.
And these cookies? Well she’d love them. If she was allowed to have them, that is. I do have limits. Very few, but they exist. In fact, my family goes to Hilton Head every summer for a week and there is this one restaurant (called Skillets Grille and Cafe) where they literally have a menu specifically for dogs. No joke. I still have a picture of it on my phone. One of the meals is called Tailwagging Turkey and here is the description:
“More than a holiday feast, your dog will be giving thanks for this delightful meal. Tender Turkey sauteed with tomatoes and brown rice, made with filtered water of course. Add pureed peas and carrots, low fat yogurt, wheat germ, virgin olive oil and garlic. Good enough to make Pilgrims and Indians get along.”
Perfect for Thanksgiving, don’t you think? We never get to bring Jessie with us to Hilton Head because we don’t stay in a place where you can have dogs, but I won’t lie. If we could take her, I’d treat her to a doggie meal. Only $6.
I know. I need help.
Anywho, Jessie is happy and these cookies are merry. And thankful. Which makes them great for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Or any time of the year were you want to be merry and thankful. Sign me up! One of my favorite kind of cookies, no doubt.

Hej Lindsay i love your website and your recipes. I have one problem though.. i find your recipes to be difficult to follow since you use cups for measurements instead of grams. Can you maybe also add the measurements in grams, so people in Europe like me can also follow your delicious recipes.
Thank you.

For the last few years my recipes have included both cups and grams. This is a fairly old recipe and it hasn’t been updated with grams, but I did create a conversion chart precisely for these old recipes. You can find it below. I hope that helps! https://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/conversion-chart/
When I mix everything, do I stir or use a mixer?
I used a mixer.
Amazing your cookies look wonderful. White chocolate and cranberries is so delicious and favorite combinations of almost everyone. Thanks for sharing this easy and yummy recipe. It’s can make our holiday beautiful and tasty.
