White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies

I know what you're thinking. Why are you posting about cookies when just yesterday you posted about losing weight?!!  Don't worry. They are not for me. I had a reason to make them, and although these are my 2nd favorite cookie (next in line to my chocolate chip cookies) I did not eat any...yet. I have thought about it. These are my White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies. So if I eat one...or two...I will be getting my fruit for the day, right? I'm only kidding, of course. But for those of you who aren't needing to lose any extra weight, or if you have an event coming up (Memorial Day get-togethers) and you need something to bring, these will be a hit every time!
Now for the recipe.

White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies

Ingredients:

3 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 c butter
1 c brown sugar
3/4 c white sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 c craisins
1 1/2-2 c white chocolate chips (I like them with more)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Sift dry ingredients. Mix butter and sugars until well combined- light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Add Craisins and white chocolate chips. Stir until just combined. Bake 10 minutes.


If you have read my Chocolate Chip Cookie post, you will know that to get your cookies soft and gooey (that's how I like mine- I'm not a hard cookie kinda girl) then you should take them out of the oven to "bake" for a minute or two before transferring to cooling rack. Don't be deceived thinking they aren't done and cook them longer in the oven.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, and eat a cookie for me!

Happy Baking!!
