Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies

We’ve officially made it through another week and practically another month. Who else can’t believe that February is already over? I feel like just yesterday we were ringing in 2016, and now we’re welcoming the third month of the year. Taxes are due in just a few weeks, yikes, but on the bright side summer is getting closer and closer and the days are getting longer and longer. Let’s celebrate that by chowing down on some delicious Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cookies, shall we?

Not that I ever really need a reason to eat cookies, but today does happen to be National Pistachio Day – so it’s meant to be. These cookies are the perfect mix of sweet and salty with a nice crunch, and they may/may not knock my Chocolate Chip Cookies down a peg or two as my favorite cookies to bake.

Best part about them? They can easily be tweaked to suit your needs, wants, and desires. Wanting a crunchier cookie? Add more nuts. Want a sweeter cookie? Up the white chocolate chips. The options are endless.
