Ingredients

  • 270 g (2 ¼ cups) all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 170 g (¾ cup) unsalted butter, room temp
  • 160 g (¾ cup) brown sugar
  • 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 113 g (4 oz) white chocolate, roughly chopped + more for topping
  • 60 g (½ cup) dried cranberries

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!

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop. Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough into equally sized cookies!
  • Freeze the portioned cookie dough. To ensure the cookies bake up thick, don't skip the freeze time!
  • Scoot the cookies. Immediately after the cookies come out of the oven, use a large round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges and form a perfectly round cookie.
