White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
My sister Brooke’s friend Christine brought these White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies to our Holiday Cookie Swap. You guys all know how much I love cranberry anything (well, except cranberry juice – blech), so I’m sure you can imagine how excited I was about these. They’re soft and chewy with the perfect combination of sweetness and tartness from the white chocolate and cranberry. They just taste like the holidays to me.

Love any type of mousse- esp if it’s pink!
Love the pink! So cute and it looks and sounds delicous! Thanks!
This looks so wonderful! I never would have thought of cranberries and white chocolate together- you are so right-what a great option for Thanksgiving!
Great idea! I am always in charge of dessert for Thanksgiving and this would be perfect to add to the line-up.
I know you said lighter dessert idea, but I’m picturing a cranberry mousse tart with dark chocolate drizzled on top!
This looks delicious! Also, can I ask…what kind of backdrop do you shoot your photos on? It is so clean and really highlights the food at hand!
Rachel – For the majority of my photographs, I use 12″x12″ scrapbooking pages. I have a bg folder with all my pages in them. I have been using a lot of solid colors recently. I have to admit I love how the blue background really makes the pink mousse pop in these pics!
Lovin’ the cranberryness here!
Love the pinkness and love the recipe!
This sounds delicious, and I love how that beautiful pink color just pops. Definitely going on my menu!!
This mousse looks divine! I could not be trusted around it.
