Instructions
- Prepare cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- Combine and stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl.
- Mix in eggs, one at a time.
- Mix the dry ingredients, a little at a time, into the butter mixture.
- Stir in the buttermilk or milk and the vanilla into the dough.
- Stir in the cranberries, white chocolate chips, and pecans without over stirring.
- Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.

Notes
- Buttermilk reacts with baking soda to give cookies a lift when baking, but regular milk can be substituted.
- Roast the pecans in a small skillet on the stove-top for a richer taste, let cool and add to cookie dough.
- Decorate cookies by swirling melted white chocolate on top or dipping cookies halfway into the white chocolate.
