Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cups Chopped toasted almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped toasted almonds using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers of the cookies may still appear slightly soft, which is fine.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Whole Wheat Cranberry Almond Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
