Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Using a spatula, fold in the dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans (if using) until evenly distributed.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these Holiday Delight Cookies with a warm beverage of your choice!
