Chunky White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

From Bite Me Cookbook: “Bite Me” began with this recipe after I bought a cranberry and white chocolate cookie from a local bakery three years ago. I ate it, bought a dozen more, drove directly to Lisa’s house and thrust the package at her. “Make these,” I insisted. She sniffed them, did her little rabbit nibbles, closed her eyes, inhaled and said “No prob.” She made them. And then she created an irresistible cookie that far surpassed any we have ever eaten.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 1½ cups white chocolate,
  • cut into chunks
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • or dried cherries

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar together on medium speed. Add the egg and vanilla, beating until fluffy.
  3. On low speed, add the flour, baking soda, salt, white chocolate and cranberries, mising just until the flour disappears. Do not overmix.
  4. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter on prepared baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, just until the edges begin to brown. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

  • Hi Julie and Lisa,
    I had the pleasure of meeting you at a Chapters store where you were giving out samples of this delectable cookie (along with a few other wonderful nibbles!). It prompted me to buy your cookbook, which turned out to be one of my better purchases. I have since made this cookie recipe multiple times, and they are always a huge hit. Glad this cookie recipe prompted you to write this wonderful cookbook :)
