- 115 g butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar

- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup whole cranberries
- ½ cup pistachios shelled
To decorate
- white chocolate
- extra pistachios finely chopped

Instructions
- In a stand alone mixer or bowl with an electric whisk, mix the sugars and butter for a few minutes, until well combined, Add an egg mixing vigorously, then the vanilla extract. Sift in flour, baking soda and salt and fold to incorporate. Stir in chocolate chips, cranberries and pistachios.
- Wrap cookie dough in cling film then refrigerate for two hours so the butter can firm up.
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- Line two baking trays with baking paper. Remove cookie dough from fridge then scoop tablespoon amounts of dough for each cookie. Roll each spoonful into a ball then place on baking tray, leaving space in between each cookie to spread while baking.
- Bake for 12 minutes until edges are golden. Set cookies aside to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt white chocolate in a dish then dunk half of each cookie. Dust with finely chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries.
- Prepare these as gifts, or serve on a plate for Santa with a glass of cold milk.
