Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Tbsp butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (I recommend coconut sugar)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp whole grain flour (I recommend einkorn)
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 Tbsp white chocolate chips
- 4 Tbsp dried cranberries
Instructions
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar for one full minute.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt) to the wet ingredients, and stir JUST until combined.
- Fold the white chocolate chips and cranberries into the cookie dough mixture using a spatula.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Measure 2 Tablespoons of cookie dough(I use 2 scoops using this cookie scoop). Place cookie dough balls 2” apart on the cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are JUST golden in color
- Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before cooling on a rack completely.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes. This is mandatory for this recipe and cannot be skipped! Otherwise, your chocolate and white chocolate chip cookies will spread all over the pan and may burn.
- Use a cookie scoop. I absolutely LOVE this cookie scoop because it makes all of my cookies the same size. Plus, the kids don’t argue over who gets the bigger cookie!!
- Use a Silpat mat for baking. This helps to distribute the heat among the bottom of the cookies, preventing burned bottoms and edges.
- Store these cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week.
- Replace the cranberries with dark chocolate chips (you can buy the chocolate locally at Walmart or have them shipped via Amazon) for chocolate white chocolate chip cookies. Or add macadamia nuts for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.
