Recipe
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:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- 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.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- 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.
