Equipment

  • baking sheets Lined with parchment paper
  • Electric Mixer
  • cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • The bake time is listed for chewy cookies, if you prefer crispy edges on your cookies add 1-2 minutes to the baking time. 
  • Place the parchment paper on an ungreased cookie sheet, this will allow your cookies to bake evenly, without the bottoms burning. 
  • For perfectly round cookies, while the cookies are warm place the top of a glass over the cookies, and gently roll the cookies inside the glass. This helps shape them.
