CRANBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!

Cranberry double chippers

Ingredients: 

3/4 c. salted butter, softened 

3/4 c. brown sugar  (I used dark brown)

1/4 c. granulated sugar 

1 egg 

2 tsp. vanilla extract 

2 c. all purpose flour 

2 tsp. cornstarch 

1 tsp. baking soda 

1/2 tsp. salt 

1/2 c. bittersweet chocolate chips-Ghirardelli

1/2c. dried cranberries

1/2c. white chocolate chips

(Use some extra chips/cranberries to press in immediately after coming out of the oven.)

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment.

2.  Beat butter and sugars till creamy. Add egg and vanilla.

3.  Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Fold in chocolate chunks & cranberries.

4.  Using a cookie scoop drop dough onto sheet.  Mine baked about 14 minutes but check the time depending on the size.  They should be lightly brown.  The tops do not really brown so don't over bake. 

5.  Remove and push in a few extra chips/cranberries.  I got about 20 cookies from this recipe.

Colomba Pasquale

My husband is not into sweets – I guess that the Universe knows better, right? :) – but he likes certain baked goods, like panettone and Colomba Pasquale. However, the store-bought versions are so heavily scented with artificial essences that he no longer eats them – he says those baked goods are not what they used to be when he was younger anymore and that all those artificial ingredients

Pebbly beach fruit squares - and a lovely friend

I’ve “met” great people since starting this blog back in 2006, and there are a few that became part of my days, despite the fact that in some cases we’re half a planet apart. :)

I know that she lives miles and miles away from here, but I would certainly love having the lovely Susan as my neighbor: I absolutely adore her (even though we haven’t met personally), I crave the yummy food she makes
