Cranberry Bliss Cookies {Starbucks Copycat Recipe}
Description
This recipe starts with creamed butter and sugar, then adds eggs, vanilla, and orange extracts to build a fragrant dough. Dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger for a hint of warmth. White chocolate chips and sweetened dried cranberries (Craisins) are folded into the batter, providing bursts of sweetness and tartness throughout the cookie. The dough is portioned into balls to bake into moderately thick cookies that hold a soft center with slightly crisp edges.
Once cooled, the cookies are drizzled with melted white chocolate and sprinkled with finely chopped dried cranberries, adding a decorative and flavorful topping. The combination of orange and ginger gives the cookies a subtle spice, balanced by the creamy white chocolate and tangy cranberries.
For variations, the dried cranberries can be swapped for other dried fruits like raisins or dried blueberries, and nuts such as macadamia or pecans can be added for extra crunch. Using parchment paper when baking helps prevent sticking and burning. Employing a cookie scoop ensures even-sized cookies that bake uniformly.
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, unsalted
- 2 cups granulated sugar white
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Cranberry I use Craisins, sweetened, dried, chopped
Topping:
- 1/2 cup Cranberry I use Craisins, sweetened, dried, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and orange extract; beat until smooth.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the baking powder, salt, ground ginger and flour. Gradually add dry mixture to the butter mixture and beat over medium speed until fully incorporated.
- Pour 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 3/4 cup chopped dried cranberries into the batter and stir with a spoon, or use your electric mixer to stir them in over low speed.
- Form cookies into small balls about 2 Tablespoons each and and bake in the preheated oven until set, about 10-13 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before topping.
- To top the cookies, melt the white chocolate in the microwave according to package directions. Drizzle the white chocolate over the top of each cookie with a fork. I dip my fork into the chocolate then shake it gently over the top of the cookies to create little streaks. Immediately sprinkle the finely chopped dried cranberries over the wet chocolate, then drizzle another layer of chocolate over the top to help hold the cranberries in place.
- Allow chocolate to dry, then store cookies in an airtight container. Enjoy!
Notes
- Dried cranberries can be replaced with other dried fruits such as raisins or dried blueberries.
- Add chopped nuts like macadamia or pecans to introduce crunch.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and burning and to ease cleanup.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to ensure even baking.
