Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, softened At room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed Light or dark
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg At room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Spoon and leveled
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup White Chocolate Morsels Or chopped white chocolate
  • 3/4 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Salted Pistachios Shelled

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy—about 2–3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing slowly until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the white chocolate morsels, dried cranberries, and pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft and underdone.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze cooled cookies for up to 3 months.
