...I have not been resting on my laurels when it comes to cooking :B

This recipe is sincerely tweaked/upgraded from: https://www.savoryonline.com/recipe.....nberry-cookies

And please note I have nothing against Savory from Stop and Shop - a lot of the recipes I get from it are absolutely brilliant (except during fall / football season) but I thought this just needed more of a personal touch (other than adding BACON :P)

Ingredients

*= tweaks

3/4 cup fresh cranberries (here I used 1/2 cup dried*)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips*
1/4 cup baking cocoa* (you can also use your favorite packet of hot cocoa or Abeulita cocoa as well)
1 packet instant coffee*
1/2 cup water + 1 tablespoon* (the flour was a bit much)
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 oz white chocolate, chopped (skipped, I used regular chocolate bark I had leftover*)

Steps

Pulse the cranberries in a food processor 6–8 times until very finely chopped. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In batches, beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chopped cranberries.
Transfer dough to a large sheet of plastic wrap and shape into a log about 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long. Wrap dough tightly and continue to shape dough into smooth cylinder. Freeze 1 hour. Remove from freezer and, in the plastic wrap, roll cookie dough into a smoother cylindrical shape. Return to freezer for 3 hours, until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Unwrap dough and cut into ½-inch slices. Arrange on parchment paper–lined cookie sheets, spacing 1 inch apart.
Bake cookies until golden, 10–15 min., switching racks halfway through. Let cool slightly and transfer cookies to a wire rack set over a large sheet of parchment or wax paper to cool completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate in 30-sec. intervals, until melted, stirring in between. With fork, drizzle white chocolate over cookies on rack. Let stand until chocolate sets.

I do not agree - you need to cook this for 20 minutes, but I do agree with switching racks to crisp the tops of the cookies at the finish.

Makes about 15 - 20 cookies, all of which soon to be devoured :P

Enjoy!
