Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delicious and sweet treat that combines the tartness of cranberries with the richness of white chocolate.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

  • Make sure to use room temperature butter for the best results.
  • If you want a crisper cookie, bake for 14 minutes. If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for 10-11 minutes.

Time:

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12-14 minutes
  • Serving: 12-15 cookies
