    Ingredients

    These cookies only require butter, flour and sugar to make. You then add in the cranberries and white chocolate chips. You are welcome to omit the white chocolate chips and cranberries if you just want a traditional sugar cookie.

    Substitutions

    There are several substitutions that can be easily made in this recipe to accomodate different food allergies:

    • Flour: Subsitute gluten free flour in place of unbleached all purpose flour
    • Sugar: You can absolutely substitute a different 1:1 sugar like Miss Jones Smart Sugar or Swerve.
    • Butter: Simply substitute dairy free butter in place of regular butter
    • White Chocolate Chips: You can now purchase dairy free white chocolate chips at many retailers and health food stores. Hurray!

    Roll Out vs. Drop

    These cookies cannot be rolled out. They are a drop cookie.

    Storing

    Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days or frozen in the freezer for up to two months. The dough can also be frozen and then thawed for up to two months.

    Chilling

    Guess what? No chilling required with these cookies! You can make up the dough and just pop them into the oven. If you want to roll the dough into balls and freeze, you can do that too then use the dough later!

    Help! My Cookies Didn't Turn Out!

    There are several reasons that your cookies may not have turned out properly. The biggest one is using too much flour, not making the right size of dough ball, flattening the cookie too much or baking them at the wrong temperature.

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!

    Welcome home...to a REAL home! One that is busy, on the go and doesn't have time to sit all day in the kitchen!

    All of our recipes include adaptations for a variety of different dietary needs. Most of our recipes are gluten free and many are dairy free and FODMAP friendly too! All recipes are easily labeled for you.
