CRANBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies image

A fundamental part of any feast is abundance that is shared, and for Nigella Lawson, who brought this recipe to The Times in 2004, one way is to make up little packages of cookies and give them as gifts. These cranberry and white chocolate cookies are a favorite. They are easy to make and a wonderful end to a meal, or an after-school indulgence. Don't overbake them.

Time 45m

Yield 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
9 tablespoons (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and oats. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugars. Beat until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, and mix again.
  • Add flour mixture and beat until well blended. Add cranberries, pecans and white chocolate chips, and mix gently until blended. Refrigerate bowl for 10 minutes.
  • Line two baking sheets with a nonstick liner or parchment paper. Roll dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons per ball), and place them 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets. Press each ball gently with a fork to flatten it into a fat disk. Place sheets in oven on two racks. Bake just until cookies are pale gold, about 15 minutes; they will still be soft when hot. Cool cookies on sheet for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon brandy
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and brandy. Combine the flour and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the white chocolate chips and cranberries. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tarter flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the white chocolate chips.
  • Chop the cranberries finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cookies and prevent them from bursting.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy edges and a chewy center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Cranberry and white chocolate cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different types of cranberries and white chocolate chips. Whether you are a baking pro or a beginner, you are sure to love these cookies.
