• 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Stir in the chopped almonds, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is golden brown and firm to the touch.
