Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 electric mixer optional
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-Ins
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
Serving
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Storage
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
