Chock-full of cranberries, chocolate chips and nuts, these cookies are fun to eat. They offer a change of pace from traditional Christmas cookies...but don't wait until December to make them. My family requests them all year-round. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips |
1-1/2 cups dried cranberries |
3/4 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup english toffee bits or almond brickle chips, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips, cranberries, pecans and toffee bits if desired (dough will be stiff).
2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly. Bake at 350° for 11-14 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: about 6 dozen.
