Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls 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. Do not overbake.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let set before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for best texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much while baking.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with chunks or a chopped bar.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
