I received these delightful cookies for Christmas a few years ago. I was watching my diet, but I couldn't stay away from them! The tart cranberries blend beautifully with the sweet chocolate and vanilla chips. �Jo Ann McCarthy, Canton, Massachusetts

� 1 teaspoon baking soda
� 1/4 teaspoon salt
� 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
� 1 cup white baking chips
