White Chocolate Cranberry Walnut Cookies

December 19, 2020 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

Adding a twist to the classic Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookie is as easy as swapping in a few ingredients for these festive White Chocolate Cranberry Walnut Cookies. 

For the holidays I tweaked the OG Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe by leaving the chocolate chips out and tagging white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and walnuts in.

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

I could lie and tell you that these are “healthier” than your average chocolate chip cookie, but let’s be real. Dried cranberries are fruity little sugar bombs. It’s the holidays, enjoy a cookie or five. 2020 is almost over and 2021 looks like a promising year to lose that Covid-15. So with what’s left of 2020, I say go ahead and indulge in these White Chocolate Cranberry Walnut Cookies.

White Chocolate Walnut Cookies

These are the nice, crisp type of cookie you want to enjoy with a glass of milk. While crisp is good, biting into a rock is not. Keep your cookies moist with this hot tip.

Hot Tip

Tuck a piece of bread in along with your cookies in a sealed container to keep ’em moist. For real-real, it works! And solves the age-old question of what to do with the butt of the bread loaf.

Adding a holiday twist to a classic cookie favorite is as easy as swapping in a few key ingredients for these festive White Chocolate Cranberry Walnut Cookies. 
Print Recipe
Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 12 mins
Course Dessert
Servings 40 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter or shortening
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli)
  • 1 cup walnut pieces slightly crushed
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, and 1 cup shortening to a mixing bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter or shortening together with a hand mixer until well combined, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 large egg. Mix until combined.
  • Add the second large egg and mix until combined.
  • Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder in a separate bowl. Stir.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl methodically. I add the dry ingredients in four equal-ish additions. After each addition, mix until just combined with a hand mixer. Repeat until the dry ingredients are completely mixed in.
  • Add 1 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup crushed walnuts, and 1/2 cup dried cranberries to the mixing bowl, and mix by hand with a spoon until just combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, pushing the plastic wrap down tightly to the cookie batter to keep the air out.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop 12 cookies onto a baking sheet, leaving a generous amount of space between each (or however many will fit; I was able to fit 12 at a time on a large aluminum baking sheet).
  • Bake for 11-12 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies from oven and let sit on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Remove each cookie with a spatula and let cool on a cooling rack.
  • Repeat until you've used up all of the dough. Makes 40 delicious and festive AF cookies.

Buffalo Pickle Dip

Buffalo Pickle Dip

Buffalo Pickle Dip is creamy, tangy, tart, and hits those taste buds with some familiar heat from Frank’s Red Hot sauce.  I’m admittedly late to the pickle dip party. I discovered that pickle dip was a thing a few months ago, and am now a full-blown addict. Every time I make pickle dip I try…
