Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The cookie dough starts with creamed unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, which creates a moist and tender base. Eggs and vanilla extract add richness and flavor, while flour, baking soda, and salt provide structure. White chocolate chips and dried cranberries are folded into the dough, dispersing sweetness and tartness evenly.
Portioned by tablespoon scoops and baked at 350 degrees, the cookies develop light golden edges with soft centers. The contrast between the sweet white chocolate and sharp cranberries offers a layered taste experience. Pressing extra cranberries slightly on top before baking enhances the appearance and flavor.
These cookies make a festive addition to cookie trays or a flavorful homemade treat, suitable for gifting or daily enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly oil the pan.
- Add butter, brown sugar and white sugar together in a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars on medium until light and fluffy.
- Crack eggs and add vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix the ingredients well until combined.
- In a medium mixing bowl add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well until combined.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients using an electric mixer. Mix well on first a low setting then a medium setting until the dry ingredients are fully mixed into the wet ingredients and a dough comes together.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and cranberries into the dough until combined.
- Use a medium cookie scoop and scoop the cookie dough into about two tablespoon balls. Place cookie dough at least two inches on your prepared baking sheet. Press a few extra dried cranberries and white chocolate chips into the top of the cookies for a prettier cookie if desired.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on edges but still gooey in the center. Let the cranberry white chocolate cookies cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. Then move to clean kitchen towels or wire racks for the cookies to cool completely before storing. Enjoy!
