Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all purpose flour
1½ teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries
¾ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars over medium speed until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small separate bowl, sifting well. Gradually add to creamed mixture over low speed. Carefully stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips (by hand).
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Bake in preheated oven for 8-12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on pan for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.

Notes

Measure your ingredients accurately. Use precise measurements for your ingredients, especially for the flour. Use the “scoop and level method,” where you use a spoon to scoop the flour into your measuring cup and then level it off with the back of a knife. This will ensure that you don’t add too much flour to the dough which can result in drier, crispier cookies.

Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cookies from burning on the bottom and spreading/sticking to the pan. It also makes clean up much easier.

Use a cookie scoop to help scoop out the dough. You can also use a coffee scoop, which is what I use a lot. I use a 2 Tablespoon coffee scoop or cookie scoop to mold my dough. This helps keep all of your cranberry white chocolate cookies uniform in shape and size so that they will bake evenly.

Store baked and cooled cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
