White Chocolate, Cranberry & Almond Cookies image

I usually make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies for the holidays..but they are so sweet and I decided to change it up this year.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup + 2 Tbsp melted butter, cooled to warm
1 1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp almond emulsion (better than extract but extract can be used if emulsion isn't available)
3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 - 12 oz pkg white chocolate chips
1 - 1 1/2 c craisins (dried cranberries) reconstituted, more or less to taste
1 - 1 1/2 c sliced or chopped almonds, more or less to taste

Steps:

1. First melt butter in microwave and let cool to luke warm while measuring ingredients and lining cookie sheets with parchment paper. Also add a few tablespoons of water to the craisins and microwave for 1 minute to reconstitute..let cool. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In mixer bowl, cream melted butter with sugars for 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, yolk and vanilla and almond emulsion. Beat for 1 minute more. While it is mixing, measure dry ingredients and sift them. Slowly add dry mixture to creamed mixture and mix just until incorporated. Stir in chips, craisins, and almonds.
3. Scoop dough onto cookie sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to cooling racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen cranberries.
Chop the cranberries finely. This will help them distribute more evenly throughout the cookies.
Use high-quality white chocolate. The better the quality of the white chocolate, the better the cookies will taste.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

These cranberry white chocolate almond cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a cookie to serve at a holiday party or a simple snack to enjoy at home, these cookies are sure to please.
