These chewy cranberry white chocolate cookies offer a perfect balance of tart cranberries and sweet white chocolate with an irresistibly chewy texture. Easy to make and perfect for holiday treats, gatherings, or everyday indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (320 g)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227 g)
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar (150 g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried cranberries (120 g)
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips (270 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients: sift or stir together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Dough should be thick but soft.
  6. Fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart (makes about 24 cookies).
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. For more moisture, add an extra egg yolk. Use cornstarch for chewy texture. Avoid overmixing dough to prevent toughness. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep moist longer.
