Now that you’ve had a peek, let’s get into what you’ll need to make these scrumptious cookies. Gather your ingredients, and let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, grab a mixing bowl and combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream that goodness together until it’s nice and smooth.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix it up until everything is well combined. You want a nice homogenous blend here—no lumps allowed!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overdo it!
- Now, gently fold in those chopped cranberries and walnuts (if you’re feeling fancy). Make sure they’re evenly distributed; we want every cookie to have that delicious flavor.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. These cookies will spread out a bit as they bake.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might look a little soft, but that’s cool; they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Once done, take them out and let them sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is essential, trust me!
And there you have it! Simple and delicious Cranberry Cinnamon Cookies that are bursting with flavor. Perfect for sharing… or not! You do you, boo!
