Small-Batch Cranberry Cookies

Cranberry cookies are a type of cookie that features dried cranberries as one of the main ingredients. They’re a delightful mix of sweet, slightly tart, and buttery flavors.

Here’s what typically goes into them:

Base: Standard cookie dough ingredients like butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and baking powder or soda.

Add-ins: Dried cranberries (for tartness) and often white chocolate chips or nuts (for extra richness and texture).

Texture: Soft in the middle and slightly crisp around the edges, depending on how they’re baked.

They’re especially popular around the holidays but great year-round as a fruity twist on classic cookies!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the egg yolk and vanilla; beat until well combined.
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
Mix in cranberries (and chocolate chips, if using).
Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space to spread.
12–14 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are slightly soft.
Let cookies rest on the sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a rack to cool fully.
