These cookies are fantastic. It's basically a chocolate chip cookie dough, but minus the chocolate chips. Add in a bunch of white chocolate chips and cranberries....and rum. It sounds crazy, but the tablespoon of rum transforms these cookies into something more than your average cookie. You'll have to try them to see what I mean. If you didn't have rum, you could use brandy, but don't leave it out. Yum!
On a different topic, how cute is this wreath? I didn't make it; I found it at Target and every time I walk to my door and see it hanging there, it makes me smile. And really, isn't that what it's all about? Smiling when you come home? Totally worth the $whatever I spent.
Boozy White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
Adapted from allrecipes.com
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 Tbsp rum or brandy
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375. Measure out 1 cup cranberries and pour over the 1 Tbsp rum. Let stand while you get everything else ready.
Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Combine dry ingredients, then slowly add to butter mixture. (Do not overmix!) Quickly stir in cranberries/rum and white chocolate chips.
Scoop onto baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes (remove when still doughy). Let cool on sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
**You can put the prepared batter in a tuppy and refrigerate/freeze for another time. Or, you can scoop out dough onto a cookie sheet and freeze. Then take the dough balls and put into a ziplock bag and freeze to bake off a few at a time.
