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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries: Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can also be used. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the cranberries coarsely: This will help to distribute the cranberries evenly throughout the cookies.
  • Use a combination of white and brown sugar: This will give the cookies a more complex flavor.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These cranberry chip cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for holiday baking or for enjoying as a snack. With their chewy texture, tangy cranberries, and sweet chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
