These cookies come from mom (Janelle). While I am a fan of these little delights, my lovely wife hunts for these each holiday season. You have been warned. Furthermore, these go well with coffee or tea and they provide a nice counter-balance to the traditional chocolate-based treats of the season.
Update: 1/31/13 - Mom left us some of these to devour last night!!
Ingredients:
2 cups (4 sticks) of butter at room temperature
1 cup of
sugar
4 cups of flour
6-12 oz. dried cranberries
Note: I add 12 oz. when I don't use the
macadamia nuts
8-12 oz. white chocolate chips
*1/2 - 1 c. chopped macadamia nuts
Decoration: additional sugar, amount as desired, for sprinkling
Directions:
1. Cream
the first two ingredients with the mixer.
2. Gradually add the flour and continue mixing.
3. Once the flour is folded in, drop by the mix into small balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Either flatten with a glass dipped in sugar or just flatten by hand and sprinkle sugar (colored or otherwise) on top.
