- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent spreading.
- You can add a pinch of orange zest for extra flavor.
