These became part of the Christmas cookie medley I gave out to my co-workers. I originally didn't intend to add in the vanilla chips, but I only had about 3/4 cup of white chocolate chips at home, and the local grocery store had run out of white chocolate chips.

yum! i didn't think i'd like it because i wasn't sure about cranberries but it was really yummy, not too cranberry-ish. bah! i had no idea it was vanilla chips!
Vanilla chips... are the same thing as white chocolate chips, but without the chocolate. Most times the term "white chocolate" is a misnomer since it's not even real chocolate - no cocoa butter in in at all. According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_chocolate), certain standards must be met for it to be called white chocolate, so looks like I used both kinds in these cookies!
