I’m so excited to share this recipe today! These cookies are definitely indulgent but great for a special occasion or to bring to serve a crowd. You can also freeze this dough so you can easily pop a few cookies in the oven instead of making the entire batch at once.

The mix-ins include white chocolate, dark chocolate, pecans and dried cherries so every bite you take tastes slightly different. The dough incorporates nutmeg and cinnamon so you also get a slight gingerbread-like taste. I also love adding oatmeal to cookie doughs for a chewier texture!
