Cashew-Macadamia Cookies with White Chocolate and Cranberries

1  cup  (2 sticks) butter, softened
1  cup  brown sugar
1  cup  white sugar
2  eggs
2-1/2  cups   flour
1  tsp  baking soda
1  tsp  baking powder
1/2  tsp  salt
1  cup  white chocolate chunks
1  cup  dried cranberries
1/2  cup  cashew nuts, roughly chopped
1/2  cup  macadamia nuts, roughly chopped

Preheat oven to 375°.
Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugars and beat until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating until well incorporated. Stir in flour mixture by hand, and then add white chocolate, nuts, and cranberries.

Drop by tablespoonful's (flatten them somewhat) onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired. Bake for about 10 minutes, until cookies just begin to brown at edges.


This is BreeAnn's favorite cookie so far.
