Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups dried cranberries
- 1.25 cups white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using), ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
