Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups dried cranberries
• 1.25 cups white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using), ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls with the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
