Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries chopped
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar together until blended.
  • Add the vanilla and egg and mix well.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients into the creamed sugar mixture.
  • Fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  • Form into 1 1/2" balls and place onto a baking sheet about 2" apart.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes until tops are golden and edges are set.
  • Allow to cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use softened butter, but not too softened of butter. Do not allow it to get to the greasy stage.
  • Use a fresh baking soda if possible. Using old baking soda will make your cookies flat.
  • Do not over-mix when adding the flour. Mix until you see no more white.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  • Do not overbake especially if you want a chewy cookie. Your cookies need to be removed from the oven when they are slightly underdone. They will continue to bake on the cookie sheet after they are removed from the oven.
  • If you would like your cookie perfectly round, use a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter and “swirl” around the outside of the cookie pushing inward just after removing from the oven.
