Hey Josh,

"Cross-country time" is defined in 61.1(b)(3) of the FARs, and paragraph (ii) is applicable for meeting the experience requirements for the private, instrument, and commercial ratings in particular. That's were you'll find the 50 NM point-to-point stipulation.

Unfortunately, the short trips won't count for experience towards ratings, but they do count as cross country time to fulfill the requirements for Part 135 PIC qualifications (FAR 135.243). For 135 qualifications, any flight time to a landing point other than the departure point can be counted as cross country as per 61.1(b)(3)(i).
