Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mandy Applegate
These Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are everything I love about holiday baking. They’re soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and filled with melty chocolate, tart cranberries, and buttery pecans. Perfect for cookie exchanges, holiday parties, or gifting to friends, they always disappear quickly and are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
