    🔪 Instructions - detailed

    Step 1

    The first thing you'll want to do is preheat your oven to 175 C / 350 F. By the time you've combined all of our ingredients to make the cookie dough; our oven should be just about ready to go!

    We'll add our butter, brown sugar, and white granulated sugar to start our dough. With a mixer, you'll start beating the butter and sugars together until the butter is softened and the sugar is well combined.

    Next, add in your eggs and your vanilla extract. You'll continue mixing on your mixer's strongest setting for another 3-5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Combine a few of our dry ingredients in another mixing bowl – the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

    After 3-5 minutes, you'll need to lower your mixer down to medium speed, and gradually add in your flour mixture. Keep mixing until they are well.

    Step 3

    Finally, add your white chocolate chips and dried cranberry to the bowl and mix them in with a spatula.

    Step 4

    Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and break out an ice cream scoop to make your cookie dough balls.

    If you're making the balls of cookie dough by hand, be sure to use at least two tablespoons of dough for each ball.

    No matter how you make each ball, be sure to leave about 4 cm / 2-inch space between them so they don’t merge during baking.

    Step 5

    You'll bake these white chocolate cranberry cookies for about 13-15 minutes until they start creating a crust on the edges. It's really important that you don't overcook them since they need to be creamy inside when cooled down.

    It's also important to let your baked cookies cool down fully since they're super soft and can crumble easily when fresh from the oven.

    🍓 Substitutions

    There's lots of room for versatility with this recipe! Are you not crazy about cranberries? No worries! Go ahead and swap them out for pretty much any dried fruit you can imagine!

    And if white chocolate chips aren't your thing, you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead!

    🍽 Equipment

    • Spatula
    • Ice Cream Scoop (optional) - I always have three different cookie scoop sizes at home - 1 tablespoon / 0.5 oz, 2 tablespoon / 1 oz, and 3 tablespoon / 1.5 oz. The 1 tablespoon cookie scoop is the one I use most often. Baking times and cookie quantities are adjusted to this size. If you prefer larger cookies, feel free to use the larger sizes. Just keep in mind here that the baking time will increase, and the number of cookies will decrease.
    • Hand or Stand Mixer/Electric Mixer 
    • Parchment Paper
    • Baking Pan
    • Cooling Rack

    🌡 Storage

    These cookies can last up to a week when stored in an airtight container, but if you freeze them, they can last up to a few months!

    🤔 Interesting Facts About Cranberries

    Compared to fun, seasonal fruits like strawberries or blueberries, these berries might get overlooked, but cranberries are chalked with important vitamins and nutrients! 

    They're especially rich in antioxidants, which make them a great defense against painful urinary tract infections. 

    Some studies have also shown that cranberries may protect your heart health since they can help balance your cholesterol and lower blood pressure. And it that wasn't impressive enough, they might even help in fighting against certain cancers! 

    🙋🏻 FAQ

    What is the secret to gooey cookies?

    If you want to make these cookies even more soft and gooey, you can use two egg yolks instead of one egg. The extra moister will help to make them more chewy and full!

    How many calories in a cranberry and white chocolate cookie?

    On average, a typical white chocolate cranberry cookie is about 150 calories.
