Cranberries and white chocolate chips give these cookies a festive look. A batch or two of this recipe can be whipped up quickly for a last-minute addition to the holiday cookie spread.
Ingredients
11 oz. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1½ tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups self-rising flour
1½ cups white chocolate chips
¾ cup dried cranberries
Steps
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
- In large bowl with mixer at medium speed, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
