These are a Dream! I followed the recipe exactly but made them a little larger. It's a pretty simple recipe with great results.

Great cookies. Soft and moist and buttery. I was convinced I had an entire costco bag of dried cranberries, but then couldn't find them when I was baking these, so my cookies went without. They are still great, and honestly so full of nuts and chips I think they may have been overpowered by even more additions.

Just wonderful! Taste is perfect. I thought they were a little 'thick' so I slightly flattened the doughball with the bottom of a cup.

This one is a winner! Excellent cookie: flavor,texture too. They keep at least 3 days. Makes at least 52 cookies. I recommend taking them out between 9-10 minutes before the edges brown and they should keep longer. Next time I would double the cranberries and reduce the chips for more tartness. I liked Carina's idea to add the juice/zest of an orange

This cookie bakes so nicely. You get a round, moist cookie. I think it needs some more white chips though. So next time I will add 1/4-1/2 c more.

A-MA-ZING!!!!! Perfect balance of flavors!! I handed them out as presents and everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. This is by far my favorite recipe. I made them yesterday, ran out and made some more today. :-) Thanks for the best cookie recipe!!

Oh my gosh! These were absolutely fantastic. I took some to my mom's work to sell, and once they were out, everyone just wanted more, more, more! I usually don't prefer white chocolate, but it was perfected by the cranberries and macadamia nuts. I wouldn't change anything. I will definately make these again.

I was disappointed by these cookies. They weren't very sweet, the cranberry taste was all but lost, and they just had a "health cookie" taste to me. I think I'd try it again, but I'd tweak a few things.

LOVE these cookies!! Such a nice change. I follow the recipe exactly and they turn out perfect. Very moist and fluffy...they never seem to get hard over time. Also nice that they make a large batch to share!

We loved these!! I don't like nuts, so I omitted them, and used an extra 1/2 cup each of dried cranberries and white chips. Everything else I did the way the recipe says to do. What a great change instead of regular chocolate chip cookies. I will make these again and again.

These cookies were wonderful! I didn't have macadamia nuts so I used toasted almond slices. I also used almond extract instead of vanilla extract. My children and husband gobbled them up. This is now my new favorite cookie recipe!! Thank You!

10 stars I would gladly give to this recipe, one of the best I've ever tried (and I've had my share of cookie recipes, believe me!). They are perfection, and the basic is so amazing that you could easily work with it adding this and that, or NOT adding, we didn't put any macadamia, for instance, and went heavily with cranberries. My 5-years-old loved to form the little balls, only we made them bigger than indicated, and both the kids were very pleased with the result.

I've never written a review but I had to for this recipe because these are the best cookies I've had in my life. I've already made 3 batches in the last 2 weeks. Chewy and DELICIOUS!

Everyone loved these and they were really good but I pictured a flatter cookie. These cooked up really chunky.

Decided to try these cranberry cookies this Christmas instead of making our fresh cranberry cookies. They were very good when made as recipe indicates, however they were a bit sweet from the white chocolate. I think next year I will cut back on the white chocolate and add more dried cranberries.

I fancy myself quite the cookie lady and this is one of my old reliable cookies! Folks call them my New England cookies and I get emails from my old boss several states away asking when I will send him some! The only thing I do differently is LOAD UP the chips and cranberries. I use a whole bag of each! The nuts I play around with every time! I have actually never used macadamia in these! Walnuts or pecans usually and I probably use more than I need to in the nut department too. SO yummy!
