- Add the white chocolate, cranberries, flour, baking soda and baking powder. Beat on low speed until just combined (don't overwork the mixture or it can become tough).
- Dollop tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough onto lined baking trays.
- Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, around 12-14 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on a baking rack.
Cranberry Cream Cheese Icing
- Combine cream cheese and cranberry sauce in a bowl with electric beaters until thoroughly mixed through.
- Gradually add the icing sugar, beating until thick and creamy.
- Use a small offset spatula or a knife, spread a generous amount of icing on half of the cookies, and then sandwich them together with the remaining cookies.
