Soft Sugar Cookies With White Chocolate, Almonds, And Cranberries - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup shortening
    1 cup butter, softened
    2 1/4 cups white sugar
    3 eggs
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 cup slivered almonds, chopped
    1 cup white chocolate chips
    1 (6 ounce) package cherry-flavored sweetened dried cranberries (such as cherry-flavor Craisins(R))
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Beat sugar, shortening, and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixture until smooth. Beat eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract into butter mixture.
    Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until dough just comes together. Stir almonds, white chocolate chips, and dried cranberries into the dough.
    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake cookies until bottom edges are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool cookies for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
