Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (or raisins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix 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 fully combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
