Description

Deliciously chewy cookies packed with tart cranberries, crunchy walnuts, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and light.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the dried cranberries and walnuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
  9. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for enhanced flavor and texture. Keep an eye on baking time to avoid overbaking.
