Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) dried cranberries
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips
  • Optional: Zest of 1 orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer (or wooden spoon) until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract (plus orange zest if using) until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, spacing about 2 inches apart (makes 22-24 cookies).
  8. For a bakery-style look, press a few extra chips and cranberries on top of each dough ball.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are set and just starting to turn golden. Centers should look slightly underbaked.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra thick cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Do not overbake—cookies should look slightly underdone in the center for the best chewy texture. Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. For a festive touch, add orange zest or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before baking.
