Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am starting to plan my Christmas baking.  I may mix in some dried cherries with the cranberries for a sweet and sour mix.

2 1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 C. butter, softened
1 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 C. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
12oz. white chocolate chips
1 C. sweetened dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  Reduce speed to low.  Add flour mixture, beating after each addition until well blended.  Stir in chips and dried cranberries.  Drop dough by heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheets.

Bake 12 to 14  minutes or until light brown.  Slide cookies to wire rack to cool.
