White chocolate cranberry cookies are soft, chewy treats with creamy white chocolate chips and tangy dried cranberries. A festive favorite, they strike the perfect balance between sweet and tart, making them ideal for holidays, gifts, or cozy everyday bakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Orange zest adds a fresh twist that complements the cranberries.
  • Swap in dark chocolate chips for a richer variation.
  • Add chopped pistachios for color and crunch.
  • Store with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft longer.
