Cranberry and White Chocolate Chip with Nuts Christmas Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, pecans or walnuts work well)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Cream the Butter and Sugars:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in Mix-Ins:

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Chill the Dough (Optional):

For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking.

Portion the Dough:

Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.

Bake to Perfection:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly undercooked but will set as they cool.

Cool and Enjoy:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, share these delightful treats with family and friends!

Tips:

1. Choose high-quality white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for the best flavor. Look for real vanilla extract for an extra layer of richness.
2. Feel free to experiment with different nuts or omit them if you have nut allergies. Pecans or walnuts complement the cranberries and white chocolate beautifully.
3. Consider adding a pinch of orange zest to the dough for a citrusy twist that pairs wonderfully with cranberries.
4. Package these cookies in festive boxes or jars for a delightful homemade gift that spreads Christmas cheer.

These Cranberry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful addition to your holiday baking menu. Enjoy baking and savoring these delicious treats with your loved ones during the most wonderful time of the year!
