Ingredients
Scale
- Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- Add-ins:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The cookie dough can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Substitutions: Use dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor, or substitute dried cherries for cranberries for a different twist.
