Cookies are one of my absolute favorite things to make during the holidays. They are perfect for gifting, for serving when you have unexpected visitors or when you just want a little something sweet after a long day of holiday shopping. These sweet and tart cookies are a favorite with my family and friends.

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
prep time: 15 mins cook time: 1 hour total time: 1 hour and 15 mins
ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 package (12 ounces) white chocolate chips, reserve 1/2 cup
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
instructions
- Heat oven to 350℉.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat at medium speed until well mixed. Scrape sides of the bowl often.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix on low speed until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips, cranberries, and pecans.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls (2 tablespoons approximately–I use this scoop) on prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake 14-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cooled completely, place the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on half power (level 5) for 1 -2 minutes until completely melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
Enjoy!!
