White chocolate chip cranberry cookies are a holiday favorite at our house. The cranberries give them a festive color and flavor that fits right in with the season. Today I’m going to share my favorite recipe for white chocolate chip cranberry cookies. The recipe is adapted from Taste of Home, I hope you enjoy it.

White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies

• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup vanilla or white chips

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, then beat in the egg and vanilla and set aside. In another bowl combine the flour baking soda and salt.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring everything together as you go. When the flour and butter mixture are well mixed together fold in the white chocolate chips and the cranberries.

Drop the cookies by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 375`F for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are just starting to turn a golden brown.

Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on a wire rack, then enjoy!

Peanut Butter Kisses are my absolute favorite cookie to make at Christmas time.

My sister and I got together to bake Christmas cookies last weekend, and this is one of the first batches we made.

But we actually had to make them twice. I’m not familiar with my sister’s kitchen, and when I meant to put sugar in the bowl to roll the cookies in, I actually put salt in there. The cookies looked delicious, but tasted very salty.

So we tried again, the second batch was wonderful!

Here’s my favorite recipe for Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies:

These cookies are simple to make but oh, so wonderful to eat.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix ingredients together, then form into tablespoon size balls and roll them in sugar. Drop cookie balls onto ungreased baking sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes at 350.` When you remove the cookies from the oven, insert a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie before the cookies cool.
