My Best Tips for Perfect, Soft Cookies
Let the butter reach full room temperature for even mixing and a tender crumb.
Don’t overmix after adding the flour—stop when the dough just comes together for soft, delicate cookies.
Fold in cranberries and white chocolate gently to keep the dough fluffy.
Remove cookies when the edges set but the centers are still pale—residual heat finishes baking without drying them out.
For an aesthetic boost, press a few extra chips or berries on top before baking.
Make Ahead, Storage, and Variations
Baked cookies will keep soft in an airtight container for five days, or freeze beautifully for up to three months. Dough can be scooped and frozen, then baked straight from the freezer—just add a minute or two to bake time.
Want to mix it up? Try dark chocolate chips, swap in chopped pecans, or add a pinch of orange zest for brightness.
People Also Ask About Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies
Can I use fresh or frozen cranberries?
Stick with dried for the best texture. If using frozen, toss with a bit of flour and expect a softer, cakier cookie.
Are these cookies very sweet?
They’re balanced—white chocolate adds creaminess and the cranberries keep things tangy.
How do I get bakery-style chewy centers?
Underbake slightly, then let them finish cooking as they cool on the tray.
Can I make them gluten free?
Yes, a one-to-one gluten free flour blend works well.
