Cranberry Chip Cookie
20 Feb 2010 1 Comment
So, I’m taking a leaf out of Thai’s book today and posting a recipe I tried out last night! My grandmother got me this cookbook for Christmas, called Christmas Gifts From the Kitchen. It’s actually really snazzy. It’s got all sorts of yummy recipes, as well as cool ways to wrap things, etc. This one was out of the section to make mixes to give away as wrapped gift. Remember those sand art brownies that school fairs used to sell? Like that. So what I did here with this recipe is just went ahead and did all the instructions together.
All-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups
Sugar 1/2 cup
Baking Soda 1 tsp
Brown Sugar, Packed 1/2 cup
White Chocolate Chips 1 cup ( now, I was out of white choc chips, so I used milk choc instead. still turned out great!)
Dried cranberries/craisins 1/2 cup
Beat 1/3 cup softened hard margerine (or butter), 2 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla in large bowl until smooth. Mixture may look curdled. Now add all the dry ingredients listed above. Mix well.
Next I’m told to drop 2 tsp, 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet. The mixture ended up a bit dry it seemed, but I molded ball-ish shapes together, probably 3/4 the size of a golfball and plunked them on my cookie sheet (probably about 3 across and 4 or 5 long).
Bake at 375 degrees Celsius for 6-8 minutes until golden. (In my oven 7.5 made them perrrfeecctttt, but people’s ovens are different, so I’m told) My recipe made about 3 or 4 pans of them. I can’t remember very well.
1 cookie: 58 calories, 2.2g total fat, 0.8g salt, 8 mg cholesterol, 9g Carbs, trace fiber, 1g protien, 40 mg sodium <—– not that most of us cookie makers really care THAT much, teehee!
All in all, they went over wonderfully. I brought out 8 or so on a plate for Cowboy and a friend of his for guinea pig purposes, and when I looked back I saw one left. I also gave another baggie of them to a mutual friend of ours and later on I got a text message: “Best cookies on the face of the fucking earth. No joke”.
It seems baking does wonders for a woman’s ego
