Instructions

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.

Scrape down the bowl, then add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.

Fold in the roughly chopped white chocolate and dried cranberries with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.

Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a small parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place the frozen cookie dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes until barely golden on the edges.

Once the cookies come out of the oven, immediately top each of them with more white chocolate, if desired.

Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Your Dough for Perfectly Thick Centers 🧊
Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours before baking to prevent spreading and achieve those signature thick, soft centers with slightly crispy edges.
Toast Your White Chocolate for Deeper Flavor 🍫
Lightly toast the white chocolate pieces in a 275°F oven for 3-5 minutes before folding into the dough to enhance sweetness and add subtle complexity.
Plump Your Cranberries for Maximum Juiciness 💧
Soak dried cranberries in warm water or cranberry juice for 10 minutes, then pat dry before adding to release their natural moisture and prevent the cookies from drying out.
Underbake by 1-2 Minutes for Optimal Texture ⏱️
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the baking sheet and stay soft inside.
Use Vanilla Paste Over Extract for Superior Flavor 🌾
Vanilla paste delivers more intense, authentic vanilla flavor than extract and won't evaporate during baking, creating a richer taste that complements the white chocolate and tart cranberries perfectly.
