Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
