It’s the most wonderful time of the year! (Nevermind that my last post was in July and I literally have no idea where the time has gone…)

BUT if you’re okay with an occasional six-month hiatus followed by twelve posts in a row with kick-ass cookies, can I introduce you to the prettiest, tastiest white chocolate cranberry cookie you’ve ever met?

These are bakery-worthy cookies, folks. And foolproof. Using the vanilla pudding mix ensures they don’t go flat — producing a thick, sturdy, crunchy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside cookie. The other bonus about using pudding mix is that you don’t have to refrigerate the dough first to ensure the cookies won’t go flat. So these are like instant gratification.

Don’t forget the salt in this recipe. It is super important to balance out the sweet, sweet, sweet.

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries
