After throwing it together and running out the door, I was pleasantly surprised when it was such a huge hit! I went home and tried to remember step-by-step what I did and I remade them to be sure. It's such an easy yet tasty cookie and the butter makes all the difference!

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.
