Add water, egg and cookie mix to cream cheese mixture.
Stir until soft dough forms.
Add in cranberries and white chocolate chips.

Cover & refrigerate 30 minutes. (it is really sticky dough)

Divide dough into thirds.
Plop each third onto plastic wrap and roll like a burrito.

Nestle together the Ziploc of sugar, and the plastic wrapped dough, roll like a burrito in wax paper. (KR notes :I would wrap well in plastic then covered with parchment paper.)

Secure wax paper with tape, tie ends with string or twine.
Tuck in your fridge or freezer, to bake at your leisure. Store the well wrapped cookie dough logs in the freezer for up to three months.

Baking frozen cookie dough
The cookie dough will need to thaw a little so it can be sliced, you can bake the cookies while the dough was still slightly frozen. Just keep an eye on the cookies and remember they will cook just a little bit more when removed from the oven.

To bake : Cut into 12 slices
Roll in Cinnamon Sugar
Bake at 375 for 8 - 9 minutes

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Name and design inspiration comes from : Cranberry Christmas by by Wende Devlin and Harry Devlin.

Logs are festive when wrapped with colorful wrapping paper but you can give a little bonus by wrapping in a holiday towel or pair of cloth napkins, or even decorative paper napkins.
