Whole Wheat White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies with Sea Salt
A buttery, slightly crisp cookie studded with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Healthier thanks to whole wheat-pastry flour, and simple thanks to a speedy 1-bowl preparation.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and cream butter in a large bowl or Kitchenaid mixer. Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy, scraping down sides as needed.
Add egg, vanilla, sea salt and beat again.
Sift in whole wheat flour and baking soda and mix until well incorporated, scraping down sides again as needed.
Add white chocolate and cranberries and stir until well combined. Then chill dough for 10 minutes while oven continues preheating.
Shape cookies into rounded 1 Tbsp balls, press down slightly onto a parchment-lined or un-greased cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt (I recommend a healthy pinch).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, remove and let set on sheet for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. These are excellent served immediately or the next day and would also keep well in the freezer for several weeks.
