Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (no substitutes) softened

1 c sugar

4 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3 c all purpose flour

1 tbl baking powder

3/4 c dried cranberries

3/4 c white vanilla chips

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, cream butter & sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour & baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in cranberries & vanilla chips. Divide dough into 3 portions.

On ungreased baking sheets, shape each portion into a 10 inch x 2 inch rectangle. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 5 min.

Transfer to cutting board, cut diagonally with a serated knife ( I like electric) into 1 inch slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 15-20 min. or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks & cool. Store in airtight container.
