The fall season is finally upon us, bringing with it a plethora of delicious flavors and ingredients that are perfect for creating decadent desserts and treats. One of the most popular and beloved flavors of the season is cranberry, which pairs perfectly with white chocolate to create the ultimate fall dessert: cranberry cookies with white chocolate.
These cookies are the perfect way to celebrate the season, whether you’re hosting a fall-themed party or simply looking for a tasty treat to share with your friends and family. They’re easy to make, require just a few simple ingredients, and are sure to impress anyone who tries them.
To start, you’ll need to gather your ingredients. For the cookies themselves, you’ll need all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips. For the white chocolate drizzle, you’ll need white chocolate chips and a bit of vegetable oil.
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips, and mix until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the white chocolate drizzle. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies in a zig-zag pattern, and allow it to set before serving.
These cranberry cookies with white chocolate are the perfect way to celebrate the fall season, with their sweet and tart flavors and comforting textures. Whether you’re enjoying them with a cup of hot cocoa on a chilly autumn night or sharing them with friends and family at a fall gathering, they’re sure to be a hit. So go ahead and whip up a batch today – your taste buds will thank you!
