Three white chocolate cranberry sugar cookies on a white plate. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a slightly golden brown crust. They are speckled with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. The plate is sitting on a dark blue wooden table, with a red wooden spoon and a glass pitcher of milk in the background. There are also some loose white chocolate chips and dried cranberries scattered around the plate.

Equipment

  • Cookie sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups self rising flour see notes on substitutions
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set it aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the flour, mixing until combined.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Using the back of a measuring cup or a glass, gently press down each ball to flatten the cookies to about ¼-1/2 inch in thickness.
  • Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a more shortbread style cookie, you can substitute all purpose flour in place of the self rising flour. 
See notes in post for substitutions for food allergies and preferences and storing information.
