White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies - A Pinch of Joy White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies are a pretty addition to the table, with the contrast between the deep red berries and the white chocolate.  They are deliciously just right sweet.  I was afraid they would be on the tart side – not true.  Cut each cranberry, though.  I cheated and put a little hand full of very small ones in whole.  THEY were tart — if you are a tart avoider like me.  Bytes said, when he bit into a little whole cranberry, “that had a burst of zing!”   Those that were cut without regard to size of the berry, just blended nicely into the overall flavor of the cookie.  Use a cookie scoop to make uniform cookies that will bake evenly.  The cookies won’t spread a lot as they bake so you can space them about an inch apart.

The added drizzle is a nice touch.  Use the candy melt wafers, instead of chocolate chips, if you have them.  They melt easier and flow better for the drizzle.  Although you can’t tell from my cookies.  My drizzle skills are right up there with my chocolate dipping (and here) skills – as in non-existent.  Probably that thing called patience 🙂 Maybe someday I will surprise myself – I’m still practicing.
