I received these delightful cookies for Christmas a few years ago. I was watching my diet, but I couldn't stay away from them! The tart cranberries blend beautifully with the sweet chocolate and vanilla chips. —Jo Ann McCarthy, Canton, Massachusetts

Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 3/4 cup sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup white baking chips
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the chips, cranberries and pecans.
