Notes
Storage: When stored in an airtight container on the counter, these white chocolate cranberry cookies will stay good for several days.
Can I use fresh or frozen cranberries, instead of dried? In this case, no. Using fresh or frozen cranberries would throw off the balance of the recipe by adding way too much liquid. Dried cranberries (whether sweetened or unsweetened) yield the best results.
