Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 12

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 high-quality white chocolate: This will ensure that your cookies have a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough 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.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
