  1. Made these tonight for my office party tomorrow, and all I can say is WOW! I didn't have white chocolate on hand, and our household prefers dark chocolate anyway, so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, which *perfectly* complemented the cranberries. I also used pecans instead of hazelnuts, and salted butter (I cut the added salt down by half to compensate), simply because that's what I had. The cookies were a little sweet for my taste, so I think that next time I may cut the brown sugar back to 1 1/3 cups, and use UNsweetened dried cranberries. Even so, this is a wonderful, wonderful cookie! I shaped the dough into balls roughly the size of large walnuts, and ended up getting 40 cookies out of the batch...which is good, because that meant that my fiance, our roomie and I could "sample" some tonight, and still leave me enough to bring to the party tomorrow! ;) Thanks for providing me with my new favorite chocolate chip cookie!
     
  2. WONDERFUL COOKIES! After all, how can you go wrong with a combo of chocolate, cranberries & hazelnuts! My cookies might have been a little larger than they were supposed to be (got 29 out of this recipe), but that's not a complaint, believe me! Thanks for sharing a great cookie!

I'm Christine, I'm 16 years old and a junior in high school; I just recently moved to Salina, Kansas from Wichita with my mom, younger brother, and 2 cats. My life consists of school, work, and theatre. Moving to a new town and a new school half way through high school turned out to be a great event and I am very happy with my new life. I work at Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizza and absolutely love my job. It is the perfect job for me at this point in time. Since the town is pretty small, the shop has become a favorite and we have lots of regular customers which is awesome. If you haven't ever had Papa Murphy's before then you should most definitely try it because it is the closest you can get to homemade pizza without making it at home! As a first hand source, I can tell you that the dough is all made, cheese shredded, and veggies cut all in-store. My favorites are the Papa's favorite, gourmet veggie, and cheesy bread! I just love experimenting and creating new tasty combinations, but I also get to take home the mess-ups:) I have already decided that I want to be a diner owner and baker or someday (or something along those lines). I don't know if I'll get there, but that's what I wanna do. My mom has taught me everything I know, she supports me, and she always makes sure I'm happy. I could never thank her enough for what she has done for me. I also watch TV, not much, but there are a few shows that I absolutely have to watch (American Idol though it's over now and Hell's Kitchen). I also love Food Network and HGTV! I love Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter; mainly because those are the 3 holidays that my entire family gets together on and they're the big food holidays. I'm also very lucky because I have already traveled a lot inside the country mainly, but I have been to 3 of the islands in the Caribbean and Mexico. My absolute favorite places so far are California, Mexico, the Bahamas, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, and Oklahoma. When traveling, I love anything outdoors; skiing, the beach, amusement parks, national parks (Yosemite, Mesa Verde!). I used to think my mom was trying to make our summer vacations all 'educational', and now I can see that she WAS trying to teach us something, but I look back on those times and realize how great the places were. Williamsburg in Virginia and Eureka Springs in Arkansas are two of the cutest towns I have ever seen! If I could meet any 3 people in the world, I would wanna meet Paula, Jamie, and Bobby Deen:), but I'm probably not alone on that. <a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=263871041" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic1.picturetrail.com/VOL1130/4876309/14777885/t-263871041.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
