Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 and 3/4 cups (345 gram) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (230 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup (200 grams) light brown sugar (lightly packed)
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups (270 grams) white chocolate chips
1 cup (145 grams) sweetened dried cranberries

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 1-2 minutes or until well combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients and continue mixing until just combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then mix in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until thoroughly combined.
  • Cover the cookie dough tightly and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Once the dough is almost chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
  • Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and drop onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave a little room between each ball of cookie dough as they will spread a little while they bake.
  • Bake in separate batches at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned and the top is set. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield About 36 sugar cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 4-ounce bar white chocolate, chopped
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Royal icing, for decorating
Holiday nonpareils, for decorating

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until smooth. Beat in the melted white chocolate, then the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three additions until just combined. Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pat into disks; wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies using a 3- to 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Arrange 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm, then reroll once, cut out more cookies and freeze.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm and the edges are light brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Decorate the cookies with royal icing. Sprinkle with nonpareils. Let set, about 1 hour.

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.

RUM-DRUNK CRANBERRY HAZELNUT COOKIES



Rum-Drunk Cranberry Hazelnut Cookies image

Holy man. I made up these cookies on a whim, based on the assumption that the oils contained in the nuts would be an interesting substitution for the oils in butter or shortening. What resulted was crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and completely delicious. I also did rum soaked cranberries instead of the traditional chocolate chips or other fare because I wanted to go for something more 'sophisticated', a 'grown up' cookie (Okay, maybe I was just trying to be fancy - sue me.) While they would be impressive at a schmoozy cocktail party, they also taste good enough that your 8 year old nephew will start taking secret trips back to the cookie jar. One consideration of using nuts as your oil is that you're probably going to need a really sturdy mixing spoon to incorporate the wet and dry ingredients (That is, of course, unless you're lucky enough to have a stand mixer). This dough is SUPER thick, so grab a strong spoon and do a couple of extra sets of upper-body workouts at the gym. ***Just as a note, be sure to reserve some extra brown and white sugar, cranberries, and crushed hazelnuts to top the cookie patties before you pop them in the oven.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h10m

Yield 24-36 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup hazelnuts
1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg (or egg substitute)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons rum

Steps:

  • Combine the cranberries and rum and microwave for about a minute. Let it sit for about 15 minutes so that the cranberries can get a nice, steady buzz.
  • In a food processor (Unless you really like working with a mortar and pestle for a long time) combine the hazelnuts with the margarine until it has a rough paste consistency.
  • Stir together the sugars in a large mixing bowl. Beat together the egg and vanilla extract and mix them with your hazelnut 'butter'.
  • Sift together the flours, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add the dry stuff to the wet stuff a little bit at a time. Do some light stretching and get ready for a really good workout.
  • When all of the flour mixture has made it into the sugar mixture, pop your dough ball in the fridge for about an hour or so.
  • Roll the dough into little balls (about a spherical inch, maybe). Mix the reserved sugar, crushed hazelnuts, and cranberries in a small dish and press the dough spheres into dough patties in the mixture.
  • Put the dough patties on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a silpat if you've got it and bake each batch for roughly 8-10 minutes at 375°F You don't really need to worry about too much spreading as the nuts hold the melting point of the dough up pretty high. Cool the finished product completely on a cooling rack.
  • Dunk these babies in some milk and revel in the deliciousness you've just created. Good job!

Tips:

  • Use good quality white chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

These white chocolate cranberry hazelnut sugar 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.
