Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 190˚C or 180˚C if using a fan oven.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
   
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar and the vanilla extract until creamy.  This will take a couple of minutes.
   
4. Add the egg and beat in well, scraping down the sides to add in all of the mixture then beat the flour mixture in gradually.
   
5. Pour in the chocolate chunks and chopped cranberries and mix in well with a spoon.
   
6. Using two dessert or soup spoons, drop rounded spoonfuls of mixture onto ungreased baking sheets.
   
7. Cook for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown.  They will be soft when they come out of the oven so leave them for a couple of minutes to firm up before lifting them off the tray.
   

The mixture makes approximately 18 cookies of 7cm diameter.
