How To Make Cranberry Cookies
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line baking sheet with parchment paper if desired. I used a new non-stick baking sheet today so did not use parchment.
Cream Butter and Sugars. Place butter and sugars into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer with paddle attachment. Beat until well combined, a good minute or two.

Eggs and vanilla. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined.

Dry Ingredients. Slowly add flour, pudding mix, salt, baking soda, white chips and dried cranberries.

Mix. Mix until dough forms.

Scoop Dough Onto Baking Sheet. Scoop dough onto baking sheet 1 inch apart.
Bake. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until baked through. Remove from oven and let cool completely before transferring.

Cool. Let cookies cool completely before transferring. Serve room temperature or chilled.
Tips For Making The Best Cookies
- Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
- For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
- Always use butter, not margarine. ALWAYS. I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies. Try it!
- Do not ever grease your cookie sheets. Will make cookies spread and change texture.
- Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 2 minutes. Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
- Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
- Don’t overtake your cookies. Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days room temperature.

How To Serve
Serve cookies room temperature at your next gathering where cookies are needed.
Leftovers
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container room temperature for up to 3 days.
Can I Freeze These Cookies?
Yes! Place any cookie dough or cooled cookies into a freezer safe bag or airtight container. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw before using/eating.
