Soft-Baked White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup (120g) dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft — do not overbake!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
