This cookie recipe of mine is certainly not new, in fact, I probably posted a similar version on my old recipe blog. Alas, I had enough ingredients in the kitchen to quickly whip up a batch of White Chocolate-Cranberry Cookies. Even if you are the least experienced baker, cookies are very easy to make, just follow a simple recipe and you will almost always end up with good results.
White Chocolate-Cranberry Cookies
Yields: 24 cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 C butter, softened
3/4 C brown sugar
1/4 granulated sugar
1 egg
2 t vanilla extract
2 C all-purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 C white chocolate chips
1 C dried cranberries
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until you reach a creamy consistency. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Gradually add the flour mixture and mix well between each addition. Once the dough has come together, add the white chocolate chips and cranberries. Fold together with a wooden spoon.
Drop 2 T balls onto the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the centers are set and edges are golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
I love to eat fresh baked cookies when they are still warm in the centers, especially with an ice cold glass of milk!
Enjoy and Buon Appetito!
