White Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies

How have I not posted these before??? I make them regularly because they are always a hit. I think it's the brown sugar that really does the trick. Anyhow, I'm making them again this eve for a friend who feels inclined to eat them while running 100 miles this weekend. Crazy, crazy kid! Thought I'd share the love (in word at least) with everyone. :)

3 cups flour
1 tsp soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter (but sometimes I use salted and it's fine)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbls vanilla
1 cup craisins
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, chopped (optional, and I usually don't include them)
(I've also added shredded coconut before, which was delicious.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the flour misture to the cream mixture. Stir until almost incorporated. Add the Craisins, white chocolate chips, and pecans. Mix until everything is just together.

Roll into heaping spoonfuls and bake for about 8 to 12 minutes (really the time varies... just watch them and take them out when they suit your fancy... you're all capable people). Eat and be happy!
