There are so many delicious cookies and sweets to enjoy at Christmas time. These easy cranberry and white chocolate cookies will definitely bring a smile to your face. You can't go wrong with cranberries and white chocolate, the combination is irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (unsalted, softened)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt

8. Bake for 8 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges (you need to watch them closely, the cookies will look undone in the center when you remove them from the oven, but they will firm up when cooling on the baking sheet).
