Calories: 248kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 c. 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 c. brown sugar packed
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. coarse kosher sea salt
- 1 c. white chocolate or white chocolate chips chopped
- 1/3 c. unsalted pistachio nuts coarsely chopped
- 1/3 c. coarsely chopped dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and set it aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sugars and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- With the mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients until a few streaks remain. Fold in the white chocolate, pistachios, and cranberries using a spatula.
- Using a standard-size cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll it into smooth balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them rest on the sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
STORE cooled Cranberry Pistachio Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
To FREEZE, roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet until firm. Transfer the frozen cookie dough balls to a freezer-safe container or bag, wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
For baked cookies, store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To REHEAT, warm in a 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) oven for 5 minutes.
