Perfectly chewy Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies are filled with dried cranberries and white chocolate. The dried cranberries offer the perfect amount of tartness, while the white chocolate delivers just enough sweetness to not overpower.
Cranberry and chocolate go so well together! Have you seen the chocolate covered cranberries? Those are so delicious! I didn't even know that I liked cranberries as much as I did until I gave those a try. These cookies are made with white chocolate, but I bet a semi-sweet chocolate chip would be delectable!
There are several versions of these floating around the internet, but none of them, that I have found were egg free. So what did I do? Make them egg free of course! I adapted the recipe from Julie's Eats and Treats because her version was simple which was exactly what I was after. I love simple recipes, but around the holidays I especially love simple recipes. I love cooking and baking as much as the other food bloggers, but I honestly don't have the time to be in the kitchen doing a lot of extra goodies. These cookies are ready in little to no time. Plus if you are making the dough and need to step away before you bake the cookies, the dough will be fine for up to 3 days in the fridge. (or so the original recipe says) I never waited past the dough chilling for 30 minutes. We were ready to bake right away.
If you missed days one and two of our 5 days of Christmas cookies, you have to check out the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Snappy Ginger Snap Cookies, I think you're going to love them!
