A great cookie for winter!
Do you have a Christmas party or cookie swap to attend this holiday season? Bring Cranberry Cookies and watch them get gobbled up!
Cranberry Cookies have everything you want in a cookie. They are soft and sweet. The cranberries add a little zing to each bite. We have suggested semi-sweet chocolate chips and roasted soy nuts, but you could also use white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, walnut pieces, or pecan pieces.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup butter unsalted, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 6 oz fresh or dried cranberries
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup roasted soy nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a bowl, sift together the first 2 ingredients and add the salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter in a free standing or hand held electric mixer.
- Add the brown sugar and the granulated sugar and mix until well blended.
- Add the eggs, one at a time and add the vanilla.
- Slowly mix in the flour mixture. Add the cranberries, chocolate and nuts. Mix until well blended.
- Roll the dough, about the size of a large meatball, in your hands and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Press down slightly and repeat for remaining dough. Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
