Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and set it aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sugars and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- With the mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients until a few streaks remain. Fold in the white chocolate, pistachios, and cranberries using a spatula.
- Using a standard-size cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll it into smooth balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them rest on the sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cooled Cranberry Pistachio Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. For freezing, roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time. Store baked cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm in a 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) oven for 5 minutes.
