Categories     Chocolate     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (this is not a typo)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 cups white chocolate chips, optional
1 cup dried cranberries
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease large cookies sheets.
  • Melt semi-sweet chocolate and cool.
  • Combine dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in melted chocolate.
  • Add dry ingredients ad mix well.
  • Fold in 1 cup of white chocolate chips (if using), and cranberries.
  • If the dough feels very soft or wet, chill for 10 minutes.
  • Drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake until cookies look dry and cracked but still feel soft when pressed lightly, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove from one and let stand on sheets for 3 minutes.
  • Remove to rack and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a more tart and flavorful taste than frozen cranberries. If you are using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them to rise and brown properly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to set as they cool. If you serve them too soon, they may be too soft and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These cranberry cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their tart and tangy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
