Are you looking for festive, soft and chewy, buttery, nutty cookies that are chocked full of rich and creamy white chocolate, salted macadamia nuts and lush dried cranberries?

Best-Ever White Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut Cookies are on the menu!  It’s one of the best loved cookies for Christmas for sure.

Do you want a cookies that are a wonderful addition to a party, cookie exchange, carry-in or what about that sick friend of yours that needs some cheering up? I just made these with the Best-Ever White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, except I added in 1 & 1/2 cups of dried cranberries. 

I love the tartness of the cranberries, the sweetness of the white chocolate and the salty macadamia nuts, just gives them that addictive attitude, not to be ignored, hard to resist.

Trust me. Been there, done that, right? 

It’s really just a wonderful explosion of sweet, salty and tart happiness dancing in your mouth every time you devour a delicious bite-full. 

I know “bite-full” is probably not a word, but I like it, so it stays. 😉 *feeling accomplished and smug-like* 

ChocolaTess Trivia for the day!  

Did you know… 

  • 1/3-cup of dried cranberries supplies 0.43 milligrams of vitamin E toward your daily goal of 15 milligrams.
  • Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can help destroy free radicals.
  • Free radicals are substances that cause cell damage, which, over time, can increase your risk of diseases, such as cancer.
  • A serving of dried cranberries provides trace amounts of iron, potassium and vitamin C as well.

It’s all good! Cranberry love! <3 

 Whatcha say?  

Let’s devour some of these bad boys!  

Celebrate cranberries as they come into the peak of their season.

    Delicious and beautiful cookies! Made mine a little bigger and they spread out wonderfully at 325 degrees for 10 minutes on the middle rack. Crispy outside, chewy inside, perfectly sweet and salty. Yum
