DIRECTION

  • Preheat the oven to 350deg F and line your baking trays with parchment or silicon baking sheets.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the soft butter and sugars for about 2 mins to a pale smooth mixture using a whisk or electric mixer.
  • Add the vanilla and egg.
  • Now sift in the flour, baking soda and salt, gradually combining using the mixer until well incorporated. Make sure you do not over mix the dough!
  • Now stir in your chocolate chunks/chocolate chips and cranberries using a wooden spatula as it needs a good amount of elbow grease!
  • Cover the dough in a zip lock or cling wrap and chill for about 15 mins.
  • Scoop medium sized cookie dough balls and drop in to the lined pan leaving enough room for the cookies to expand. (About 5-6 cookies on a large baking tray)
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies until light golden and chocolate starts to melt.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes before serving.
  • You can chill rest of the cookie dough in a zip lock and use as needed.
  • TIPS FOR BEST COOKIES: Always use chilled cookie dough for the soft and chewy texture.
  • Use room temp butter to avoid flat cookies.
  • Make sure you use fresh baking soda(no expired ones).
  • To get brittle cookies, bake for an extra 3 minutes or so.
  • You can alter the cookie by adding mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, chopped walnuts, pecans etc. into the dough. Endless variations!
