I was really impressed with the flavor as well. It’s sweet, yet has that cool cream cheese flavor & the craisins & white chocolate chips really go well with all this cookie has to offer. Plus I can’t get enough of how beautiful this white cookie is; it’s so light & the pops of red cranberries really make this cookie pretty.
