Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (170g) butter, COLD and cubed
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • cups (305g) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (120g) dried sweetened cranberries
  • 1 cup (160g) white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat just until combined.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix just until barely combined. Stir in the dried cranberries and white chocolate just until combined.
  • Scoop 2 tablespoons of rounded dough onto an ungreased baking sheet and arrange 3 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until very lightly browned around the edges. The centers should look slightly undercooked. Leave on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to cool.

Notes

  1. STORAGE: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 days. 
  2. MAKE-AHEAD AND FREEZER-FRIENDLY: You can make the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature then continue with step 4. Baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well for up to 3 months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute or two, no need to thaw.
