White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies
Original Recipe
-1/2 c butter
-1 c white sugar
-1 egg
-3/4 c buttermilk (or, 3/4 cup milk and 1 Tbsp white vinegar)
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 c all-purpose flour
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in egg, buttermilk and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add in slowly to sugar mixture, mixing well. Mix in white chocolate chips and cranberries. Chill 1 hour. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until set and the edges have just turned brown. Allow to rest on sheet for one minute before removing to cool completely.
My Notes:
I was inspired to make this recipe by cookies I found at work on Christmas. It is more of a Christmasy cookie, due to the cranberries, but I like it anyway. These are a fully dairy dish, due to both the cookie dough itself (which uses butter) and the white chocolate chips. It'd be hard to make pareve, I think.
The directions on the package said to bake for 7-9 minutes, but mine took 15+ minutes to really turn golden brown. I think the size of my cookies might've had something to do with it, though. Still... yummy stuff.
EDIT: I added a sugar cookie recipe I found online to this recipe. The cookies turned out much thicker, but apparently were better tasting.
