Description

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies are a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors, making them a favorite for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup dairy-free butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ¾ cup gluten-free flour mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup dried, sweetened cranberries
  • ½ cup dairy-free white chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together the softened buttery spread, sugar, and brown sugar. Then add in the egg and vanilla. Mix together, scraping down the sides of the bowl when needed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until thoroughly combined. Use a spatula to fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  5. Place the cookie dough 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cookies stay on the cookie sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  7. When cool, store cookies in a cookie tin or resealable plastic bag.

Notes

To soften the buttery spread remove from the refrigerator about 10-20 minutes before using.

Gluten-Free Flour: My favorite gluten-free & dairy-free flour blends to use are Pamela’s Artisan Blend and Better Batter. I’ve been using them both with great results. They are both a 1-1 substitute. If you use another gluten-free flour blend, be sure that it contains xanthan gum. If not, add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of flour.
