CRANBERRY-CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Cranberry-Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

There must have been some magic baking up in the Betty Crocker Kitchens when this recipe was developed, because this deceptively simple cookie is about to steal the show (and your heart). Perfect for bake sales, book clubs, Christmas cookie exchanges and anything in between, this genius recipe will disappear in almost the same short amount of time it takes to make them-maybe even faster. To keep it simple, we started with Betty Crocker's sugar cookie mix, added a few heaps of dark chocolate chunks, tossed in dried cranberries and for a dazzling finish we sprinkled these confections with coarse sparkling sugar. We could have picked a different dried fruit, but the sweet-tart cranberries balance out the rich dark chocolate so perfectly that we'd say this combination is a match made in flavor heaven. Plus, with just 20 minutes of prep, you can make this always-impressive cookie in almost no time flat!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.

  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will result in tough cookies.
