Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies image

With a slightly crunchy exterior and a puffy, soft interior, this cookie satisfies both the crunchy and the soft cookie lovers. These look festive on a holiday cookie tray, but are delicious all year round! It's a creation born of several different recipes over the years. Using both butter and shortening is the secret to the dual texture. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! :)

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use my homemade vanilla, Homemade Vanilla)
2 eggs
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries (I like to use pomegranate infused cranberries)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In mixer bowl, cream butter, shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  • Slowly add eggs, almond and vanilla extracts and beat well to combine.
  • Gradually add flour mixture to bowl and beat well.
  • By hand, stir in chocolate chips and cranberries.
  • Drop by rounded 2 teaspoonfuls (or a small #60 cookie scoop) 2" apart onto an ungreased baking sheet (I just line mine with parchment paper).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until just slightly browned and set on top.
  • Remove cookie sheet from oven and allow cookies to rest for 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer cookies to rack and cool before packaging. Store in an airtight container or Ziplock baggie.
