Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
Fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix once flour is added to avoid tough cookies
Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies
Use real white chocolate chips for superior flavor
Store in airtight containers for up to 1 week
Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months
Cookies may appear slightly underbaked but will finish cooking on hot pans
