White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies

I've been wanting to make some different cookies lately so I thought I'd give these a try. I'm not a big fan of white chocolate chips, but I have friends and family that absolutely LOVE this kind of cookie so it's a win-win. I get to bake and they get to eat cookies! I decided to throw some dried cranberries in the mix and it turned out great. They look so Christmasy too!
