Christmas Cookies with Chocolate Chunks
Best thing about food blogging is that you have the perfect excuse to eat delicious desserts any time of year, claiming that you simply have to present to your readers the variety of recipes for the holidays that are perhaps weeks or months away.
Also I have a very, very long wish list for Santa this year, so I’ll have to leave him a tray overloaded with awesome cookies and a gallon of milk. He will be very exhausted while fulfill all my wishes, and who knows maybe he remain stuck in the chimney with all that gifts for me. I’ll have to show him my goodwill so I set myself a challenge to find THE BEST CHRISTMAS COOKIES FOR SANTA this year!!! I’m sure he will like these cookies as well as my Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Buttery Cranberry Cookie Recipe
I wanted to start the season with these awesome White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies. Red color of the cranberries makes the cookies look really festive. And not to mention the taste! These yummy cookies simply bursting of cranberries and white chocolate.
I know I sound like a broken record, but I just prefer to bite real white chocolate in cookies more than white chocolate chips so I loaded these cookies with chocolate chunks, as I did it with my Strawberry Cookies or Apple Snickerdoodle Cookies. Although I have to admit, chips looks better than chopped chocolate chunks so I top each cookie with a few white chocolate chips, just for prettier presentation.
Whether you use chips or chunks, white chocolate matches perfectly with dried cranberries and you’ll love these White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies.
Get ready for baking, many delicious CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPES are coming soon!!!

Can you leave this cookie dough in the refrigerator over night and cook the next day?
Hi Emily, you could do that. Just let it sit on the counter for a while before scooping.

The cookies look lovely. Mine were a bit “cakey” for my taste. The texture was more like a shortbread than cookie. Might have something to do with the lack of humidity in the winter air. However, with a cup of coffee…the best breakfast ever!!!!!

These cookies were so delicious! We all are not big fans of white chocolate, but loved it in these cookies.
I definitely had to keep them in the oven longer – more like 14 min.

Hello Raquel I’m thinking of skipping the corn flour too as I think I haven’t any now.
How did your cookies turn out?
Can I skip corn flour?
Hi Lorna, it’s corn starch not corn flour. You can substitute with all purpose flour. Corn starch makes cookies softer, but it will be OK without corn starch!!
