And the baking extravaganza continues...

One of my favorite Thanksgiving and Christmas cookie recipes! My mom got it from a patient a few years ago. I tend to add more cranberries and pistachios than this says...but I like my cookies chunky. Apparently my cookies like me chunky too...

This time I made a batch and a half of these since the hubby loves them so much :)

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (may omit in nuts and/or butter is salted)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios
  • 3/4 cup chopped dried cranberries

Ingredients...1/2 an egg is hard to get BTW.. :)
 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in mixing bowl.

Beat butter in a large mixing bowl until fluffy (about 2 minutes), add sugar and mix until smooth.

smoooooth
 Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.

Blend in flour in 3 stages.

Stir in chips, nuts and cranberries.
Oh I could eat it just like this...
 Form walnut-sized mounds and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes.
(makes 4 dozen)
Or use the ice cream scoop...

TASTY TASTY NOMS!!!

The hardest part of this recipe by far is chopping the pistachios and cranberries. Enjoy!!!
