These cranberry white chocolate chip cookies are based on my white chocolate macadamia cookies, which are a classic and well-loved recipe. This version changes it up a bit and adds dried cranberries for a little holiday twist. While cranberries are delicious all year long, they seem very Christmas-y to me. I love the deep flavor from the brown sugar in these cookies with the pop of sweet and tart from the white chocolate and cranberries. It’s a delicious combination that definitely deserves a spot on your cookie tray.

They are great for pretty much any occasion, but there’s no doubt that Christmas is the top spot on the list. I already have two great options for vanilla cutout cookies – my original cutout sugar cookies and my newer soft and chewy cut out cookies. But it was time for some chocolate to change it up! I married the second of those two cut out cookies with my recipe for chocolate sugar cookies that are drop-style and came up with this amazing recipe.
Baklava is one of those desserts that I didn’t grow up on but as an adult, I’m definitely a fan. I tried it for the first time several years ago and fell in love. The honey and cinnamon are totally up my alley. Since then, I’ve used it as inspiration for a few different desserts, such as my baklava poke cake and this baklava cheesecake. Here are a few reasons why I think you’ll love this just as much as I do.
Have you ever noticed that cake makes almost everything better? When it comes to fall, this cake definitely makes it even better – and tastier. There are just so many things to love about it. Trust me — this cake has a few steps, but they’re worth it for the end result.
This flavor of this cheesecake is nothing short of amazing! It’s so much better than you’d even expect. It was a HUGE hit with everyone. Even the hubs, who initially turned it down and then decided to try it, loved it. Within a few hours, he’d had 3 slices! Here’s a few more reasons you should give it a try.
