Holiday Cookies! Cranberry Walnut White Chocolate Chip


This recipe is a simple adaptation to my Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.  It turned out pretty darn good too.  Very festive and tasty.

Cranberry Walnut White Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped cranberries

Cream together butter, shortening and sugars.  Add eggs and beat well to combine.  Add remaining ingredients.  Stir well to form a stiff dough.  Drop round teaspoonsful onto light oiled baking sheet.  Bake 7 to 9 minutes in a preheated 350° oven.  Remove cookies to cooling rack.  Store in airtight container.  Makes 3 dozen.


These cookies are not too terribly sweet so if you prefer a sweeter cookie increase each of the sugars to 1/2 cup.  We liked them just like the recipe calls.  I hope you give these a try.

  1. Sounds very much like what we call a "Cranberry Hootycreek" around here. It's a great cookie! I like that your recipe has whole wheat flour in it!
