White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies Recipe

I have made this recipe for 3 years now and everyone loves them. I've always used vanilla extract instead of the brandy and have used 3/4 a cup of cranberries when I didn't have a cup and they still were delicious and looked nice. I look forward to making them again for this years office cookie exchange.

I really wanted to use some cranberries, and I love white chocolate, so these were perfect. Here's a tip; instead of greasing the pans, use parchment paper. I followed the basic recipe, but omitted the brandy. I took the advise of another review and soaked the cranberries in orange juice. They were delicious

I love these cookies. I made a few changes based on other reviewers comments. Doubled the recipe, did 2/3 of the sugar as brown vs white, added 2/3 c chopped pecans and also a pinch of baking powder. While I like the white chocolate chips, my preference would be mini white choc chips (just my own thing) so will try to use those next time. Didn't have brandy so soaked my cranberries in fresh orange juice + 1/2 t orange extract. I think I will also add 1 t orange extract to the cookies along with the vanilla. Baked at 375 for 12 min. These cookies are the bomb! Thank you

Made these today. Yummy! Only change was 1 tsp vanilla in place of the liquor because I didn’t have it. I rolled in balls and flattened just a bit. Used a non stick pan so no grease. I got 18 cookies about 3 1/2 or 4 inch diameter. Reminded me of Mrs Fields cookies from back in the day. Cakey and chewy both at the same time. Next time I will try adding just a dash of salt to counter the intense sweetness. Will make these again for sure.

This was a great recipe and after making it the first time I doubled it to make about 4 dozen cookies. I used Country spread instead of butter to eliminate most of the saturated fat. Replaced brandy with pure vanilla extract and also added a cup of pecans to my mix. Have made this for a couple of years now and everyone loves them. Last batch I omitted the white chocolate chips to make them almost saturated fat free as I had a quad bypass and am more aware of saturated fat intakes now.

Great recipe! I did alter a bit, used vanilla instead of brandy. A (heavy) 1/3 cup each of chopped macadamia nuts and craisins. Kept everything else the same. Done in 10mins.

I substituted 1 tbsp raspberry syrup for the brandy. Was absolutely delicious.

Recipe needs to have the temperature adjusted to 350, or slighly less... Our first batch burned at 375, so we lowered the second batch to 350 and cooked slightly longer. They turned out perfect at that point. We are also using a gas oven, so that might be the difference. Nonetheless, we not have to make another batch to accommodate mailing to family across the country so that they don't get burnt cookies.

Followed recipe exactly except used cognac instead of brandy (b/c I had it on hand) and dissolved the baking soda in a scant teaspoon of water (per my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe). Baked at 375 for 9 minutes. They were perfect, exactly the texture and appearance I was looking for (planning to make these for the annual Christmas cookie exchange). Crispy on edges, chewy inside.

Cookies had a good taste but spread all over the pan. May try again but will chill and bake at 350 degrees. Added 1/2 cup walnuts.

made them again this time cooked at 7 min. hubby loved them. Made another batch with raisin instead. very good will make this again. did vanilla instead of brandy and added 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon.

Other than adding 3/4 tsp of salt, I followed the recipe as written. The cookies turned out great! They're buttery, chewy, and have a nice balance of sweet and tart from the cranberries and white chocolate. I found that I needed to bake my cookies for about 11 minutes to get the perfect level of 'done-ness.' I love how easy these were to mix together and get into the oven as well--no fridge time! Great cookies, with a great flavor, that I will be making again! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Easy recipe and delicious!! A keeper for your recipe list. My wife and love these, as do the folks at the office. They don’t last very long! My adjustments: -I recommend using half the white sugar and a little less of the white chocolate chips - a little too sweet w/ the full amounts -I used coconut oil instead of butter to try something different and it turned out great! -Added dried cherries and dried wild blueberries (I still used the dried cranberries) - yum! (Photo is just a few of the x2 batch 😁)

Great recipe. Easy delicious cookie. I used vanilla because I don’t have brandy.

These cookies were on point. Made them exactly as recipe states and they were really good. Second time subbed vanilla crown for brandy and subbed toffee pieces for the cranberries and got rav reviews from everyone. Sent them in a care package to my college son and all his roommates are now asking for more cookies!

Awesome recipe highly recommend :)

This recipe is GOLD! 😋

These are yummmmmmmy with fresh cranberries!

These were disappointing. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but they were not chewy and the flavor just wasn’t great. After reading the reviews, I expected a really awesome cookie.

Super simple but oh so yummy! A nice change up from chocolate chip cookies. I used a generous splash of vanilla instead of the brandy.
