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.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter ((softened // 1 stick equals 1/2 cup) )
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt ((plus more for topping))
- 1 heaping cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or bar ((chopped))
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries ((sweetened or unsweetened))
Steps
-
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.
