How to Make White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies Step by Step
Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or grease lightly with nonstick spray.
Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat 17.9 ounces (1 bag) of Snickerdoodle cookie mix, 1 large egg, ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sour cream together for 2-3 minutes, or until thoroughly combined.
Add the Mix-Ins: Fold in ¾ cup of white chocolate chips and ¾ cup of dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
Scoop the Dough: Using a 1½-inch cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and form it into even balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets with 1 inch between each cookie.
Bake the Cookies: Bake for 8-13 minutes or until the edges get golden brown. Do not overbake. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack or serving warm.
