The chocolate chip Levain cookie copycat recipe was so good that I wanted to play with it and see what other things I could come up with from my pantry. I bought a gigantic back of dried cranberries from Costco just for this reason.
I think making less than ten cookies from an entire batch of cookie dough really is the way to go. There’s something about sitting down and eating one hearty cookie that beats eating four cookies at a time.
Life is so different baking with two littles around since they’re constantly sitting by my side, asking me what I’m doing next, and asking if they can eat some cookie dough. The girls are truly such wonderful listeners and will wait patiently until I tell them they can eat a cookie. They’ve got this whole thing down.
White chocolate tends to be really sweet in desserts, so I was careful not to put too many in. The ratio was just right for these cookies. The key to these gigantic cookies is letting them sit once they’re out of the oven. It’s tempting to eat right away, but don’t do it! Trust me. Just wait.

Are you sweating over dessert for Thanksgiving? Well, look no further. Since there are so many dishes to worry about as is, why not let a cake mix do the work for you? You only need five ingredients to make these cake mix cranberry white chocolate cookies. Count them on your hand.
Yes, you read that correctly. 
If you have kids helping you bake, you can mix the dough by hand instead of using an electric mixer because the dough comes together quite easily. I’ve never met a kid that didn’t like mixing the dough! Put those little arms to work.
