Cranberry Cream Cheese White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here we are at day 5 of my 12 days of Christmas Sweets.  And I have got more lovely cookies to share with you.  I know December is full of parties, cookie exchanges, & neighbor gifts, so you probably are looking for as many easy cookie options as possible.  Well, today's recipe uses a cookie mix pouch & a few extra ingredients so it ranks high on the ease factor.  I was really impressed with the flavor as well.  It's sweet, yet has that cool cream cheese flavor & the craisins & white chocolate chips really go well with all this cookie has to offer.  Plus I can't get enough of how beautiful this white cookie is; it's so light & the pops of red cranberries really make this cookie pretty.
