White Chocolate Almond Cranberry Cookies

I ate all the cookies.

Yes, every single one of them. Actually, I’m completely lying but I did eat a lot of them and I COULD have eaten all of them.

You believed me didn’t you?

Ya know what? I’m going to make another batch just so I CAN eat them all.

These White Chocolate Almond Cranberry Cookies are really that good. Honestly? I wanted to make a Valentine’s Day treat for you guys which was supposed to be a chocolate bundt cake with strawberry topping, bbbuuuutttt it just wasn’t blog material…not yet at least. Yeah, it was okay and it tasted fine, but it’s not like omg this is the best cake ever so I nixed it and made cookies instead.

I tend to not screw up cookies and with Valentine’s Day being two days away, I could trust my skills to create a cookie that I knew would be omg good to share. So there you have it!

Now why are these omg good? First of all, I love cookies that are made with cornstarch because they’re chewy. These aren’t the crispy golden brown cookies…no no no. These literally taste like the cookie dough. It’s like eating cooked cookie dough…make sense?

Chewy, melt in your mouth cookies with tons of sweet white chocolate chunks and tart chewy cranberries. OH! and they have almond in them. I heart almond like Jax from Sons of Anarchy. Anyone else watch? Best show ever.

See? Chunks of cranberries and white chocolate. Ya know? I’m not much of a white chocolate fan and I literally ate all of these cookies…well almost. Did we talk about this already?

Don’t forget to share!
