Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies

If you haven’t tried the combination of white chocolate chips with cranberries then you are missing out on something good. In general, cranberries are a treat on their own. They taste absolutely amazing. I make some delicious cranberry shortbread squares, which I hope to share with you soon too.

The Many Uses of Cranberries

There is something about cranberries that is always a great addition in fall. I love adding them to my breakfast granola as well as to my salads. Did you know that the cranberry is considered among some of the worlds’ healthiest foods? They are very high in antioxidants, even more than blackberries, raspberries or strawberries.

I love cooking with cranberries too! Both turkey and chicken go well with cranberry. Have you tried my Slow cooker Apricot Cranberry Chicken? So delish!! It’s now become a family favorite.

This white chocolate chips and cranberries cookies recipe is as simple as they come. NO fuss and NO waste of time. It takes five minutes to prepare the dough and another 10 minutes to bake the cookies. And voila you have fresh homemade cookies for tea. Cant’ get easier than that! Can it?

Useful Tips and Tools

• I’m not a slave to mixers. And yet, when you need some good creaming I have to insist that you use the K-Mix or Kitchen Aid.
• A good baking tray is always important. Try using a light colored baking trayBaking tray. Another option is to line the baking tray with Parchment Paper.
• If you aren’t going to fill or decorate these cookies a regular rolling pin will work just fine. And yet, a Cookie rolling pin has the side spacers that will also help you with rolling. So all your cookies are leveled and bake evenly.
• Also, it is really important to cool cookies completely on all sides as soon as they come out of the oven. So take them off the baking tray to prevent them cooking further and place them on a Cooking rack so they air circulates on all sides. This prevents steam from going back into the cookie thus…… keeping them crispy not soggy.
• Always bake cookies on the center rack of your Oven. If you have more than one tray simply bake them one at a time. You can bake two trays at the same time, and yet this can lead to some of the cookies in the bottom tray spreading too much. Also, you can rotate the trays during the baking. This is helpful with some cookies.
• Most cookies usually bake between 10 to 12 minutes. These took me about 10 minutes. Since cookies bake quickly they can also get over-baked. This is due to our tendency to get distracted at the last minute. Hence, my solution is a kitchen timer that is always set to 10 minutes. I turn it on as soon as I place the cookies in the oven. This has saved me many cookies since my kids always keep me busy.
