Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and pure vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a dough forms.
Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped hazelnuts, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten, as these cookies don't spread too much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly underbaked but will set 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.
Enjoy your White Chocolate Cranberry Hazelnut Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
