I’m glad we go that out of the way.  I know y’all are not used to seeing a sponsored post disclosure on this here website.  All these fine folks sent me their wonderful products to bake up a bunch of holiday cookies and the federal government requires that I tell you about that.

Moving on!  We totally kicked off the Sweetest Season Cookie Exchange on Saturday and here is my first contribution!

We’re starting out with some peanut butter, white chocolate, cranberry cookies for this cookie exchange! I know this is almost the exact cookie as the white chocolate peanut butter hazelnut, white chocolate chip cookie from October, but cranberries are just so wintery-y.  I swapped out the hazelnuts for cranberries to make things more festive!

I have more coming.  The rest have more of a retro feel to them.  I pulled a bunch of recipe cards from my gram’s recipe box and I’m going to be sharing some of my family’s recipes that have been part of our holiday celebration history.

Peanut Butter, White Chocolate, and Cranberry Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Combine flour and baking powder with a whisk or sift together
  3. Beat together peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar
  4. Add egg, then gradually beat in flour - I usually do this in thirds
  5. Stir in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries
  6. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour
  7. Using a scoop (I used one that is about 1 tablespoon size), scoop out dough and roll into balls with your hands
  8. Flatten to about 1/2 inch with a fork
  9. Bake 10 - 12 minutes, cool a couple of minutes on the pan then transfer to a rack to cool completely

Adapted from Martha Stewart

Note:  Using this size scoop resulted in 2 dozen cookies.

    I would never had paired peanut butter and cranberries, but the other day I tried a protein bar that had those two flavors, and it was delicious! I can only imagine how good these cookies must be! I can’t wait to see what you’re going to post next!

    Peanut butter cookies were a staple in my childhood but the addition of fancy ingredients like white chocolate chips and dried cranberries is altogether new! These would be a perfect addition to any holiday cookie tray, my dear!

    Very interesting combo of the peanut butter and cranberries, so I’ll have to make them to see what’s up. I bet these would be good with a nice stout too 🙂
