How to Make White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies
Cranberry Cookies with White Chocolate are the perfect Christmas cookie! Soft cookies with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. I’m not sure there is a better Christmas cookie to give to friends and family….or Santa!
One of my all time favorite things to do is bake cookies with my son. It allows us to spend quality time together that’s un-interrupted. We have fun together and most importantly, it creates memories that we will have forever.
FAQs
- What will I need to complete this recipe?
- You will need the following ingredients:

- Salted butter: Unsalted butter is a good substitute. I recommend adding a pinch or two of salt for flavor balance.
- Sour cream: Substitute whole fat, plain Greek yogurt, or cream cheese spread if needed.
- White chocolate chips: White baking pieces can be used instead, or you can substitute another chocolate chip if you don’t mind changing the flavor of the cookies.

- How should I store my White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies?
- These cookies are best enjoyed within a week when stored at room temperature. If you need to keep them longer, you can freeze them in a single layer for 2-3 months. Avoid refrigerating the cookies, as it can make them go stale faster.
- Why did my cookies end up flat?
- If you end up with flat cookies instead of nice, fluffy cookies, there are a couple of things that you can adjust. First, ensure you use room-temperature butter, not melted butter. The cookies may become flat if the butter is too soft or melted. Second, you can reduce the amount of sour cream you add to the recipe. Mix up the dough without any sour cream, and then slowly add in the sour cream until you get a thick, moldable dough. Finally, you can refrigerate or freeze the cookie dough after you’ve made it for 30-60 minutes so that the dough doesn’t spread out as much.

Hi Nancy! I know that it can be frustrating, but, I make ZERO Profit from running this website.
