Chocolate and Cranberries, Yummy!!
I created this recipe of dried cranberry chocolate cookies over 10 years ago and like clockwork, it is the first recipe my family asks for during the holidays. I really love to use and mix dark chocolate with white chocolate.
The blended flavor is just sinful and additive at every bite. But not all kinds of chocolate. Ghirardelli or Guittard and bittersweet chocolate for the dark chocolate.
I love to use bittersweet dark chocolate. The flavor is deeper.
Being French, we take our chocolate very seriously. This means we do not skimp over and go to the best brands. We also always have dark chocolate, 75% and above, and never milk chocolate.
Dark chocolate is rich in flavor and makes any cookies, or recipes, taste fantastic.
Dark chocolate, in actuality, is also healthier for you as it contains high cocoa versus milk chocolate which contains milk solids added.
Cranberries are my favorite, and I use them as often as possible in my cooking. Leave them whole or chop them. I leave that up to you.
However, I would advise chopping the cranberries up if you have little ones at home.
Here are a few helpful tips for the ingredients needed for this poached pears in wine recipe
You can find the printable recipe with all the correct ingredient amounts at the bottom of this post.
All-purpose flour: Unbleached is my choice because it is not chemically processed.
Rolled oats: Quick Quaker Oats are cut approximately smaller so they will cook faster.
Baking powder and baking soda: your leavening agent to increase the volume and lighten the texture of your cookies.
Unsalted butter: always unsalted so as not to change the flavor of your cookies. Room temperature.
Brown sugar: Sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. Unrefined or partially unrefined.
Granulated sugar: also known as white sugar, table, or regular sugar.
Egg: consistently large and at room temperature
Vanilla extract: Gives that beautiful flavor to the sugars and chocolate
Bittersweet chocolate chips: Higher cocoa content and less sugar.
White chocolate chips: sweet with a hint of vanilla
Dried Cranberries: The star of this dessert. Soft and chewy once baked.
Equipment you will need
Large mixing bowls
KitchenAid stand-alone mixer

Ice cream scooper
cooling racks

Baking tips and step-by-step instructions
Use parchment paper on your baking sheets. Easy to clean your baking sheet. The best benefit is that your cookie will not attach itself to the cookie sheet. Below link for the precut parchment paper sheets. Much easier. No need to change the parchment with each batch.
Make sure you use unsalted butter that is at room temperature. Do not melt to gain time as it will make your cookies flatten with a shape.
Always use eggs that are at room temperature as well.
I use an ice cream scooper to make the perfect round with the same amount of dough for cookies. Easy and perfect each time.
As not all ovens are the same, your dried cranberry chocolate cookies are done when the edges are beginning to brown and the center is still soft. Overbaking them can make it harder to enjoy them.
Always let the baking sheet cool off completely before adding the second batch of cookies to bake. By doing it too soon, your cookies will burn faster.
Let the cookies cool off on the baking sheet over a cookie rack for a few minutes. Transfer the dried cranberry chocolate cookies to a cookie sheet to completely cool off.
Store in a closed glass container once they are completely cooled off. They will preserve for less than a week if no one gets to them sooner.

Personal Note
Substitutions
Running to the store at the last minute for one ingredient can stop us from making the great recipe we want. Here are a few suggestions for substitutions shared with me by a dear friend and foodie who made this recipe and is in love with it.
Raisins can substitute dried cranberries.
Cinnamon chocolate chops instead of white chocolate chips.
White or dark chocolate chips can be substituted with mini chocolate chips.
A quick note about parchment paper
I cannot live without it and always have it handy in my kitchen. When it comes to baking, it plays a significant role: always on the cookie sheet.
Sticking is nonexistent.
These cookies do store well. Ensure that they are entirely cooled off before putting them into a container.
Using an ice cream scooper is helpful to keep all the cookies the same size and allows an even baking.
