Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 cup pecans roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light, about 2-3 minutes.
    1 cup salted butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again.
    2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Add flour, salt, baking soda, cornstarch mixing on low speed at first until combined.
    2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Stir in the white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and pecans.
    1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, 1 1/4 cups dried cranberries, 1 cup pecans
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies a couple of inches apart so they can spread. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are golden brown around the edges, but still look slightly underbaked in the middle.
  • If you want to, you can stick additional cranberries, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips on top to decorate.

Notes

  • These cookies will freeze well for up to 2 months in a freezer-safe, airtight container.
  • Substitutions: Feel free to swap out the pecans for walnuts, macadamia nuts, or pistachios instead. Or leave the nuts out altogether if you aren't a fan.
