Equipment
- 1 kitchenaid mixer
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper baking sheets
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 turner
- 1 spatula set
- 1 cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 3/4 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/2 cups White Chocolate Chips
- 1 1/2 cups Dried Cranberries
Instructions
- Heat oven to 385 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Don't overmix once you add the dry ingredients or it will produce too much gluten in the dough.
- Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Scoop the dough onto parchment paper lined, light-colored baking sheets, spaced at least two inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT overbake the cookies as they will continue to bake once they are removed from the oven. For more gourmet cookies, place several white chocolate chips and dried cranberries on top of cookies, once you remove from the oven.
- Let set up on baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Butter -- use salted or unsalted butter in this cookie recipe. If you use salted butter, reduce the salt by 1/4 teaspoon.
- Vanilla Extract -- my favorite pure vanilla extract is made by Nielsen-Massey or true authentic Mexican vanilla.
- Flour -- use all-purpose flour in these cookies.
- White Chocolate Chips -- I suggest using quality white chocolate chips from brands like Guittard and Ghirardelli.
- Dried Cranberries -- also known as Craisins. I suggest buying these fresh to ensure a soft chewy texture.
