Notes
The melted butter in these cookies makes all the difference! Using melted butter rather than softened butter creates a cookie with a deliciously chewy texture. The extra step is worth it!
I used white chocolate morsels when I made the cookies this time. Next time, I might try the recipe with white chocolate chunks instead. Either way, the white chocolate brings out the best of this cookie.
These cookies do spread a decent amount, thanks to that melted butter I mentioned above. Be sure to space the dough out on your cookie sheet so they don't run into each other as they bake.
The cookies will continue to bake after you remove them from the oven. They'll still look a little soft and doughy at the end of the baking time--this is normal! Let them cool right on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Need to bake in advance? This dough freezes well, as do the finished cookies. You can even freeze the cookie dough in individual balls so you can bake cranberry cookies right from frozen; just add an extra two minutes onto the baking time.
Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
