White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give two cookie sheets a light greasing to ensure your cookies slide off easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and blend together the brown sugar, white sugar, and softened butter until the mixture becomes delightfully creamy and smooth.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in an egg and a splash of brandy, continuing to mix until everything is beautifully combined.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda, then gradually stir this dry mixture into your buttery blend until just combined—don’t overmix; we want those cookies to stay tender! Now comes the fun part: gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for that perfect bite.

5. Step 5

   Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.

6. Step 6

   Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, remembering to switch the racks halfway through for even baking.

7. Step 7

   When you take them out, they should look slightly doughy—trust me, that’s the secret to a soft cookie! Let them cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

8. Step 8

   Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
