Hey guys! Sam back from The Culinary Compass! I’m excited to bring you these awesome White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies. They are perfect for all of your holiday festivities this year! They’ve got the great sweet and creamy white chocolate chips with some tart dried cranberries which pair for a perfect cookie.
Ever since someone introduced me to a white chocolate and cranberry combination, I am sure to make it every chance I get. Usually that’s more around the holidays, but I am totally on board for bringing this around all year long.
Throw them in the middle of a great sugar cookie dough and you’ve got a recipe you’ll be coming back to again and again!
White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies:
I adore how fluffy the dough is. I intentionally leave the cookie sizes a little big to leave the middle of the cookie just as fluffy as the dough. The outside will give you that tiny bit of crunch you need along with the chocolate chips.
The dough itself isn’t too sweet. Once done, it reminds me of a scone with most of the sweetness coming from the fun goodies inside! It makes a great base if white chocolate and cranberries aren’t your thing.
I made these White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies with a larger cookie scoop so I ended up getting about 18 cookies. If you need more, cut back to about one tablespoon. Drop the time in the oven to about 12-15 minutes. Along with the large cookie scoop that I used you can also see that I lined my baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. I used the baking mat because it keeps my baking sheets looking nice, it makes clean up quick and easy, and the cookies come off easily without any fuss. Another no fuss cookie I like to make are these no bake cookies.
Keep an eye to make sure you take the White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies out when they’re lightly golden brown either way! Leaving them too long gives them a crunchy outside which, sometimes, isn’t a bad thing.
