This past Christmas I went to visit some of my in-laws in Baltimore. We planned out a nut free cookie swap. My brother in-law loved them so much he requested the recipe. Keep in mind this recipe is for 4 dozen cookies so feel free to half it when making your own. So here’s to you Josh!
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies
3 sticks of soft butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups all purpose flour
1- 12 oz. bag of white chocolate chips
2 – bags of Ocean Spray dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment cream butter and sugar together for one minute then add eggs and vanilla. When mixture is slightly fluffy add baking powder, baking soda and salt, mix for a few seconds then add flour until incorporated. Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Use a spoon to help form 1 1/2 inch balls, place them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet 1 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 13 minutes.
Cranberries make them healthy! Right?
