Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

If you are looking for a chocolate chip cookie with a twist, try out this chocolate-cranberry chip cookie recipe.  I love that it has the traditional taste of a homemade chocolate chip cookie but has walnuts for a little crunch and dried cranberries that add a little tang.  I cut the recipe in half and it made 2 dozen cookies.

Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened 
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar 
2/3 cup packed brown sugar 
1 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
2 eggs 
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 
3 cups all-purpose flour 
2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts 
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer 30 seconds. Add sugars, soda and salt. Beat till combined. 

Beat in the eggs and vanilla till mixture is smooth. Using the mixer, beat in as much of the flour as you can. Stir in remaining flour by hand. Stir in cranberries, nuts, and chocolate. (Dough will be stiff.) 

Drop from rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in 325° oven 14 to 16 minutes or till golden. Cool a few minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool.
