Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies
If you haven’t tried the combination of white chocolate chips with cranberries then you are missing out on something. In general, cranberries is a treat on their own. They do taste absolutely amazing. I do make some delicious cranberry shortbread squares which I hope to share with you soon too!
There is something about cranberries that 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! Meat such as 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 recipe is as simple as it comes. NO fuss and NO waste of time. It takes five minutes to prepare the dough and another 10 minutes to bake these. And Voila you have fresh homemade cookies for tea. Cant’ get easier than that! Can you?

Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies, White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
Let’s talk ingredients and Substitutes
- Cornstarch – also known as cornflour adds a nice crisp to the cookies.
- White chocolate chip – I like the combination of white chocolate chips with cranberries, especially because these are tart so the sweet white chocolate adds a nice depth of flavor. But dark chocolate chips work just as well.
- Sugar – The brown sugar keeps them soft but the white good makes them crisp giving this cookie perfect textures.
- Spices – I like adding pumpkin spice or gingerbread spice but our simple cinnamon or nutmeg do an amazing job as well.
- Vanilla – Always add the best pure vanilla you can find, makes a huge difference. Rose essence is another great flavor for these cookies.
