These are the best cookies and so easy! Instead of drizzling the white chocolate on top I decided to just put the white chocolate chips in the cookie batter. Am now having to make two more batches for my Christmas platters. Love it!!

I made two batches, I made them into brownies. I did one with cranberries and pecans, the other with dried cherries and macadamia nuts. I then cut them into squares after I baked them. I amd giving them as Christmas presents on Christmas decorated plates, that my friens and family can keep.

These cookies were definitely a departure from what I normally make and I used made them for Christmas cookie platters. They were fairly simple and turned out well, many co-workers and family members complimented them and requested the recipe.
