These White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies are soft, chewy and super festive for the holidays. Tart, dried cranberries and hunks of sweet white chocolate make for the most delicious flavour combo. These would be perfect for a Christmas cookie swap or holiday party dessert!

Christmas Cookies

What you’ll need to make White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies:

These cookies come together quickly and are easy to make. Aside from the staples that you probably already have in your kitchen, here are a few ingredients you will need.

White chocolate  –  I used a bar of white chocolate and chopped it up into pieces. You can use chocolate chips, but I prefer the bigger pieces that a bar provides!

Dried cranberries – Dried cranberries provide the perfect tart flavour to these cookies to balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate. They also add a pretty pop of colour to these cookies.

Instant vanilla pudding  – Adding a package of instant vanilla pudding mix is one of my favourite cookie hacks! It gives them a soft and chewy texture that lasts for days.

How to make White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

Preheat oven to 350oF and prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla pudding mix. Set aside.

Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.

With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined.

Add the dried cranberries and white chocolate and mix to combine.

Scoop balls of cookie dough, about 3 tablespoons for large cookies, and place evenly on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes or until golden around the edges.

Let the cookies cool on a cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Christmas Cookies

How to make these White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies gluten-free:

These cookies are super easy to make gluten-free. Simply swap the all-purpose flour with equal amounts of a 1 to 1 gluten-free baking flour with xanthan gum. Chill the cookie dough for at least an hour before baking at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes.
