Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Super Easy Cranberry Sugar Cookies!
