Ingredients
170 g unsalted butter
150 g dark brown sugar
50 g granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla
250 g all-purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda- 0.5 tsp salt
135 g white chocolate chips
140 g dried cranberries
Cookware
- 1 stand mixer
- 1 bowl
- 1 large baking sheets
- 1 parchment paper or silicone baking mats
Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until combined and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together. On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined. The cookie dough will be soft and thick. Add the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries and beat on low speed until combined. Cover dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 3 to 4 days. Chilling is imperative to prevent the cookies from over-spreading.
Step 3
Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator. If the cookie dough chilled longer than 3 to 4 hours, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes the firm cookie dough easier to scoop and roll.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Step 5
As the oven preheats, scoop and roll dough, about 1.5 Tablespoons (30 g) of dough each, into balls. The dough may be slightly crumbly, but will come together as you work it with your hands. Arrange dough balls 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 6
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. The centers will still look soft. If cookies didn’t spread much, lightly bang the baking sheets on the counter a couple times while the cookies are still warm. They’ll stretch and deflate.
Step 7
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. During this time, press extra white chocolate chips and dried cranberries into the warm tops. This is optional and only for looks. After 5 minutes, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.
