Favorite Cookie Recipes at the Lake House at Ferry Point

I frequently get asked for recipes that I use.  One of the recipes that I am asked for most is our Cranberry, white chocolate & Pecan cookies.  These cookies are among the favorite cookie recipes at the Lake House at Ferry Point.  I make them frequently.  Guests rave about them, and so do the kids.

So here is the recipe for you to try and enjoy!
