CRANBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies image

A fundamental part of any feast is abundance that is shared, and for Nigella Lawson, who brought this recipe to The Times in 2004, one way is to make up little packages of cookies and give them as gifts. These cranberry and white chocolate cookies are a favorite. They are easy to make and a wonderful end to a meal, or an after-school indulgence. Don't overbake them.

Time 45m

Yield 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
9 tablespoons (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and oats. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugars. Beat until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, and mix again.
  • Add flour mixture and beat until well blended. Add cranberries, pecans and white chocolate chips, and mix gently until blended. Refrigerate bowl for 10 minutes.
  • Line two baking sheets with a nonstick liner or parchment paper. Roll dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons per ball), and place them 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets. Press each ball gently with a fork to flatten it into a fat disk. Place sheets in oven on two racks. Bake just until cookies are pale gold, about 15 minutes; they will still be soft when hot. Cool cookies on sheet for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup warm milk (120 to 130 degrees F)
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons rapid-rise yeast
2 eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups finely chopped cranberries
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream, or more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast together in a small bowl until dissolved. Set aside and allow yeast to proof until foamy.
  • Whisk eggs and cooled melted butter together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and stir gently to combine. Mix in egg mixture and continue to stir until a sticky dough forms.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead in remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour a little at a time until dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes, using additional flour if necessary. Place dough into a greased bowl and turn to coat. Cover and place in a warm, draft-free area. Allow dough to rise until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, combine cranberries, brown sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow filling to cool to room temperature.
  • Line a 9x13-inch baking pan and a 6-inch cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease both pans.
  • Turn risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle approximately 21x14 inches. Place cranberry filling on the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Roll dough up starting at a long side. Pinch ends to seal dough and lay seam-side down on a cutting board. Use a very sharp or serrated knife to cut into 15 rolls, each about 1 1/4-inch thick. Place rolls cut-side up in the prepared pans, 12 in the baking pan and 3 in the cake pan.
  • Loosely cover pans and allow rolls to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until buns are golden brown on top, 22 to 27 minutes. Allow to cool in the pans for several minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until smooth. Add more cream to thin or more sugar to thicken, if needed. Pour glaze over slightly warm rolls before serving.

2 pkg (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
2 C warm water (110-115 degrees)
1 C of butter, melted
1/2 C sugar
2 tsp salt
5 to 6 C of all-purpose flour
!Filling:
1 C of butter, softened
1/2 C of packed brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 package (10 to 12 oz) of white baking chips
1 C dried cranberries
1/2 C chopped pecans
!Glaze:
2 C confectioners sugar
5 to 6 TB of heavy cream
2 tsp of pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, sugar, salt and 4 C of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for 12 hours. Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 24-ish inch X 12-ish inch rectangle. For the filling, combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread over the dough to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Sprinkle with chips, cranberries and pecans. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long side. Pinch seam to seal. Cut into 16 slices.

Cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use cold butter when making the dough. This will help to create flaky layers in the finished cinnamon rolls.
  • Be sure to let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to ensure that the cinnamon rolls are light and fluffy.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a light touch. If you press too hard, you will end up with tough cinnamon rolls.
  • Be generous with the cinnamon sugar filling. This is what gives the cinnamon rolls their delicious flavor.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cranberry white chocolate cinnamon rolls are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a soft and fluffy yeast dough that is filled with a sweet and tangy cranberry and white chocolate filling. The cinnamon rolls are then topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting. These cinnamon rolls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
