White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies Recipe

It’s cookie season! One thing I love during the holiday season is all the seasonal goodies that come with this time of year. Hot chocolate, Christmas cookies and holiday movies. December is like one long cozy month. The past few years my mom, sisters and I have been doing cookie swaps, it’s such a great tradition that we have started. Who doesn’t love a good cookie swap? I normally tend to go the chocolate route, but this year I wanted to try another holiday combo between the mix of cranberries and white chocolate.
