CRANBERRY-CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Cranberry-Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

There must have been some magic baking up in the Betty Crocker Kitchens when this recipe was developed, because this deceptively simple cookie is about to steal the show (and your heart). Perfect for bake sales, book clubs, Christmas cookie exchanges and anything in between, this genius recipe will disappear in almost the same short amount of time it takes to make them-maybe even faster. To keep it simple, we started with Betty Crocker's sugar cookie mix, added a few heaps of dark chocolate chunks, tossed in dried cranberries and for a dazzling finish we sprinkled these confections with coarse sparkling sugar. We could have picked a different dried fruit, but the sweet-tart cranberries balance out the rich dark chocolate so perfectly that we'd say this combination is a match made in flavor heaven. Plus, with just 20 minutes of prep, you can make this always-impressive cookie in almost no time flat!

CRANBERRY WALNUT CRUNCH

Provided by Eric Asimov

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups cranberries (one 12-ounce bag)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
Finely grated rind of one orange
Pinch of salt
1 to 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, like Grand Marnier (optional)
1/2 teaspoon minced, dried orange peel (optional)
1 cup unbleached flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter
3/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Vanilla ice cream, frozen yogurt or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Discard any stems from the cranberries. Wash them in a colander and shake dry.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, rind, pinch of salt, and liqueur, if desired, and dried peel. Spread out the cranberries evenly in a greased 6-to-8-cup shallow baking dish.
  • With a wire whisk, mix the flour, light and dark brown sugars, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut the butter into small bits. With your fingertips, work it together with the flour until it is like rough meal. Mix in the nuts, and spread the topping evenly over the cranberries. (If making several hours in advance, cover and refrigerate. If assembling the day before, refrigerate the cranberry mixture and topping separately, and combine right before cooking.)
  • Bake on the middle level of the oven for 40 minutes, until the juices have started to bubble up and the crust has browned. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving warm with creme fraiche, ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand.
  • Be sure to drain the cranberries well before adding them to the cookie dough.
  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Cranberry crunch cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, tart cranberries, and sweet oat topping, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
