Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 2 large cookie sheets.

In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In large mixer bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy. Blend in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in white chocolate, cranberries, pecans and zest. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Watch carefully -- cookies burn easily. Remove from oven; let stand 2 minutes. (Cookies will be underbaked when removed from oven, but continue to bake during standing time.) Remove from cookie sheets; let cool. Store loosely covered or freeze.

Yields about 3 dozen cookies.

Tester's note: This cookie was very tricky to bake. Pay attention the entire time the cookies are in the oven. It's not a recipe to make if you're in a hurry or doing several things at once.
