Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake for optimal chewiness.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the amount of granulated sugar slightly. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness. For an extra touch, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the cookies immediately after they come out of the oven.
