"From the Yahoo Food website. Studded with chocolate, nuts and dried fruit, these festive drop cookies are sure to be a hit at the holidays. Variations: Prepare as directed, replacing 6 of the white chocolate squares with 6 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate.

These turned out good, but I was expecting more flavor considering the amount of mix-ins the recipe called for. They looked great and had a really nice texture, but I would add some cinnamon or orange zest next time. Thanks for posting the recipe.

These are delicious! I made two batches (about 150 cookies!) for Christmas. Everyone raved about them! Thank you for sharing!

The best!!! I have made this for years and it is always a big hit at the cookie exchange. I like to add coconut which works well with the pecans and cranberries. Also a bit of cinnamon and other spices are a nice touch (I like baking spices). A must have for the holidays!
