White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies blend classic cookie dough with tart dried cranberries and sweet white chocolate chips. The dough is made by creaming butter with sugars, then incorporating dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt—and folding in the mix-ins. Baked until edges turn golden, these cookies offer a chewy texture with bursts of fruity tang and creamy sweetness, enhanced by a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top.

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter at cool room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- sea salt for sprinkling on cookies, flaky
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. This will take 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- With the mixer off, add all of the dry ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix. Stir in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Form the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Check early to make sure you don’t over bake, every oven is different. Remove from oven and sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.

Notes
- Soak dried cranberries in warm water for 5 minutes if they seem dry, then drain and pat dry for better texture in cookies.
