For a richer flavor, consider using European-style butter instead of shortening. Dried cherries can substitute cranberries To prevent the white chocolate chips from melting too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
