If you love baking and eating cookies, like I do, you’re going to love these cranberry and white chocolate cookies. These cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the center. They’re loaded with dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks. SO good! Before you get started, don’t forget to quickly go through my article on Baking Your Cookies Right. You will find lots of tips in the article that you should keep in mind while baking your cookies.
Ingredients for cranberry and white chocolate cookies
I use dried cranberries to make these cookies but you can also use dried blueberries or chopped dried prunes. The dried prunes will taste amazing with dark chocolate chunks. I don’t recommend using fresh berries for these cookies but you can use chocolate chips/ chunks of your choice. I use cornflour in this recipe to make the cookies chewy but you can skip adding that if you like crunchy cookies. Adding both brown and white sugar makes the taste and texture of the cookies just perfect. I use soft brown sugar from Tate & Lyle.
How to make cranberry and white chocolate cookies eggless
If you don’t consume eggs, don’t worry! Here is how you can make these cranberry and white chocolate cookies eggless. You can use a flax egg instead. To make flax egg- mix 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds with 1 tablespoon water. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes until it becomes thick. Add it to the cookie dough after creaming the butter with sugar.

Hi Shivesh, I have a doubt when you say beat sugar and butter and then egg.. do you mean we can do it with an electric beater or just using a whisk
Hi, when you say beat sugar and butter and then egg…do you use an electric beater or just a whisker. What would you recommend
You can use anything. If you have an electric beater, use that 🙂
Hii shivesh ,i just love all your recipe and thanks for sharing it . Butter should be cold or at room temperature?
It should be at room temperature and soft.
Is there any alternative for egg? I want to make an eggless version of this.
Hi! I tried out this recipe, and I would say that you shouldn’t use a silicone mat, when it becomes oily, all the cookies slip off. I would say just because I used a silicone mat, it ruined a whole day’s progress. I really wouldn’t recommend using a silicone mat when baking, baking paper or a plainly greased tray would work much better. It was NOT a nice experience to see my cookies slide off and get ruined. We were reduced to 17 cookies instead of 20. ?????
Hi Shivesh, can you recommend a brand for white chocolate?
