Cranberry Sugar Cookie

There’s something about white chocolate, marshmallows, and sugar cookies that make me think of winter. Do you ever experience that? Kind of the way certain soups make me feel like it’s fall. Or maybe it’s just the excuse to crave more sugar because I can hide it under my layers of winter clothes! Whatever causes it, I was in the mood for cranberry sugar cookies this week. If you’re searching for a new cookie recipe to try, this one is easy and delicious!

Chocolate Alternatives

Somehow, my secret stash of white chocolate chips had been depleted! Honestly, I don’t recall eating them but since I’m the only one in the house who is addicted to white chocolate, I have to accept the blame, right? But if you’re a fan like me, I highly recommend trying at least a portion of your batch with white chocolate chips. Dark and milk chocolate chips are also delicious in these tasty cranberry sugar cookies, so don’t be afraid to sprinkle them!
