Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies for #SundaySupper
Cookies! Last year, I wondered if I could make them. I did …and they came out great! this year, I’m all in! I’m experimenting and finding tons of awesome cookie recipes. I’m not going to get to try them all but I’m building up a nice collection! That’s what makes this #SundaySupper so awesome! This weeks theme is Holiday Cookie Exchange! The titles are wonderful and I can’t wait to see everyone’s cookies!
Who doesn’t love a good cookie? We love cookies at my home, but I don’t buy them often. I feel much better making them myself, even if it’s just for the season. It also brings me comfort that they are home-made, and made with love. And a few chocolate chips. After all, chocolate is love, right? Check out my Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies and Ginger Molasses Cookies. Crowd pleasers!
The cookie I’m sharing with you has been tested by me twice. I guess when I say “me”, I really should be saying “us”. The first batch was good, it was finished quickly and you know that’s a good sign.I made some slight changes on the second batch. I used a bit more cocoa powder and used white chocolate chips instead of dark. That’s all. And that’s what I’m sharing with you today.
Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
- 1 Cup Wholewheat Pasty Flour
- ½ Cup Dutch Processed Dark Cocoa Powder
- ½ Cup + 2 Tbsp Butter, softened
- ½ Cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 Cup White Chocolate Chips
- ¾ Cup Dried Cranberries
- Preheat oven to 350F
- In a small bowl, sift in flour and cocoa powder. Combine with a whisk. Set aside
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and baking powder until combined
- Beat in egg until combined
- Beat in as much as the flour with the mixer
- Fold in chocolate chips and cranberries with a wooden spoon or spatula
- Using a cookie scoop, take up rounded portions and roll into a ball. Flatten then round the edges.
- Place on a parchment lined cookie tray with about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest in the tray for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
I’m no cookie expert. In fact, I’ve made cookies that could compete with a rock. I kid you not. I didn’t give up though. I had to really learn about the importance of cooking time, and not necessarily how they look when they come out of the oven. Baking for too long, is just a no-no. The good thing about cookies is that once you get the hang of it, its smooth sailing after that!
Scoop, roll, flatten, shape.
Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies – Ready for baking!
To make these cookies, I did a test run first with about 3 cookies. I learned that they do not spread much. I found that they came out better if I hand rolled and formed them. I used a cookie scoop so the cookies were very similar in size. Who ever came up with those scoops is a genius.

Oh, yeah…I’d LOVE getting a tin of these double chocolate beauties! Happy #SundaySupper!
I am loving the addition of cranberries to the chocolate cookies. And double chocolate at that!

Your cookies are very pretty! I don’t like chocolate drop cookies though. I don’t know why. Well one reason is they seem to dry out more quickly. Anyways, love the addition of cranberries. I’m making cranberry bliss bars. I’ve had th recipe for three years and Im just now getting to them!
