White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

I don’t know why cranberries are usually only consumed at Christmas because I enjoy them all year round. But I only make these cookies around Christmas. The red and white cranberries and white chocolate are perfect for Christmas. That’s why I include them in Christmas baskets and bake them for cookie exchanges.

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies Sweet, Tart, and Festive

The sweetness of the cookie and chocolate paired with the tartness of the cranberries makes for a sweet and tart cookie that is bursting with flavor in every bite.

The combination of cranberries and white chocolate makes these cookies look festive. The red and white remind me of Santa Claus.

These cookies make a great snack for adults or kids. White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies pair well with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. They also go well with a large glass of cold milk.

Ingredients for Making White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

  • Dried Cranberries. The cranberries I use are dried. They work best in this recipe. I try to find the cranberries with the lowest amount of sugar and if I can I buy unsweetened dried cranberries.
  • White Chocolate. This is different than normal chocolate. The flavour is milkier and it isn’t chocolate. It doesn’t contain chocolate solids at all. But it is very popular especially at Christmas and is perfect paired with dried cranberries.
  • Butter. Unsalted butter is used in this recipe. If you don’t have unsalted, you can use salted butter and omit the tsp of salt that is added later in the recipe.
  • Cornstarch. This is what keeps these cookies soft. It is necessary for the recipe, otherwise, your cookies won’t stay soft as long. Without cornstarch, the cookies will not be as soft even after just cooling.
  • All-Pupose flour.
  • White Sugar.
  • Eggs. Large eggs are used in this cookie recipe.
  • Baking Soda. The leavening agent keeps the cookies from spreading too much and makes them rise.
  • Vanilla Extract.

Storing White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

When stored in an airtight container, these cookies remain soft and chewy for up to two weeks.

They can also be wrapped in parchment paper and stored in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months without losing any flavor. Thaw them out at room temperature before serving.
