• Pour in your white chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, and dried cranberries. (Be sure to save some for the tops of your cookies) Stir them in.
• Scoop out your cookie dough into 1-2 inch balls and place on your baking sheets a few inches apart to prevent from spreading into each other when they bake. Top with extra chocolate chips.
• Chill cookie dough balls in the fridge for about 15 minutes before baking. (optional)
• Bake at 350℉ for 8-10 minutes and remove from oven just before cookies start to set. Using a round cookie cutter scoot in the edges of your cookies to prevent from spreading and to make them all round.
• Place back in oven to finish baking for 1-2 minutes. Be sure to not over bake if you like soft and chewy cookies. Cookies will still continue too bake slightly on the hot pan once removed from oven.
