The YEAR OF THE COOKIE
Since it's Valentine's I decided to bake a cookie with cranberries for the red color. These cookies were so good I had to make them twice. I had to take them to my taste testers. My daughter thought there were too many cranberries of course she picked them out...lol I have to agree with her my next batch was made with less cranberries. However my co-workers/taste tester thought they we're delicious, and had the perfect amount of cranberries. I will give both recipes below, the original and my modified version, you be the judge. Happy Baking!!!
Recipe. My version
2 sticks. 2 sticks butter
1 c sugar. 1 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar. 1/2 c brown sugar
2 eggs. 2 eggs
1 t vanilla. 1 t vanilla
2 3/4 c flour. 2 3/4 c flour
2 t baking soda. 1 1/2 t baking soda
12 oz white chocolate chips. 1/2 t salt optional
2 c dried cranberries. 12 oz white or dark chocolate
2 c walnuts. 1 c dried cranberries
2 c walnuts or pecans
My modified version I added salt, I thought the cookies were sweet delicious but sweet. I also took out 1 cup of cranberries. I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, I thought dark chocolate would go better with cranberries, however they both were absolutely delicious. You can choose for yourself.
Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy, add eggs 1 at a time and vanilla, beat well. Add flour, baking soda, salt optional, mix well, stir in chocolate chips, dried cranberries and nuts
