Servings: 48 cookies
Calories: 124kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar gently packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed to cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract until fully incorporated.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
- Mix in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a #40 cookie scoop and place the cookies on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and creates a softer cookie
- For even-sized cookies, use a cookie scoop
- Add orange zest to add citrus flavor.
