White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

Winter is definitely the season for cookies. A fresh batch of cookies in the oven seems to just warm the house up and fill it with all those delicious baking scents. Definitely helps that the cookies taste great too- no matter the variety you’re cooking up! Chocolate chip, shortbread, Kiss cookies- everyone’s got their favorites but we seem to try all sorts of recipes through the season. We recently tried out these delicious White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies!

Chewy Cranberry Cookies

Cranberry Cookies are underappreciated: folks usually go for chocolate chip cookies instead. Frankly, they’re missing out since the dried craisins add an interesting fruity sweetness to these treats. We didn’t forget the chocolate though- instead of a milk chocolate, these white chocolate chips worked out much better! These two mix-ins come together to make a delicious cookie with an unique palette of flavors.

How to make our Cranberry Cookie Recipe

Like most good cookie recipes, we’re going to do a wet-dry mix for our dough. We’ll start by getting our dry ingredients mixed up: in a mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt. You can, optionally, sift your ingredients as you add them.

Next up is the wet ingredients. First, cream together your butter and sugars in another mixing bowl.

Then we’ll crack our egg and drop our vanilla into this creamed mixture. Beat those in until everything is consistent.

Egg and vanilla added to sugar mixture

Now we’ll start gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Make sure each dash of your dry ingredients is thoroughly mixed in before adding the next dash. Do this until all of the dry ingredients are mixed in and you have a completed dough.

Let’s fold those fillings in! Drop your craisins and chocolate chips into the dough and fold those in until they’re spread evenly through the dough. Once you’ve mixed those in, transfer the dough to the fridge to chill for 15 minutes before baking.

Craisins and chocolate chips added to sugar dough

Form your dough into 1-1/2 balls before spacing them about 2 inches apart on a baking or cookie sheet. Bake your cookies in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp. Allow to cool- first on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack- before enjoying!
