Why We Love This Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies Recipe

Delicious sugar cookies are dotted with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for a sweet-and-tart cookie that’s sure to impress!

  • Easy. Using a bag of cookie mix makes this recipe super simple! Just leave out the cinnamon sugar packet, or use regular sugar cookie mix if you prefer.

Variations on White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies

These cookies are easy to modify with a different flavor of cookie mix, like sugar, oatmeal, or white chocolate macadamia! You could also add different dried fruits, like raisins, apricots, or cherries.
