Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Dried cranberries
- 100 grams White chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious cranberry cookies with a warm beverage or as a snack anytime!
