Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup (packed) Brown sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Dried cranberries
• 1 cup White chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is perfect for a chewy texture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
