I have a few simple tips so your cookies turn out soft and chewy every time.
The Secret of the Cranberry White Chocolate Soft Cookies:
- Use room-temperature baking margarine!
- Cornstarch helps the cookies to stay soft, even after days.
- Rest your dough in the fridge for at least 1, but 3 hours is better.
- Make sure your dough is cold before you scoop it onto the baking sheet! Put the dough back in the fridge between baking batches.
- The molasses in the brown sugar makes the cookies gooier, and chewy.
- Don’t press down your scooped dough! It’ll spread on its own without help thanks to the fat in the baking margarine!
- Make sure you leave enough space between the dough balls. Put a maximum of 6-8 on the baking sheet.
- Don’t overbake them! 12-13 minutes is enough for these cookies, even if they’re soft when you get them out.
- Press some extra chocolate and cranberries into the warm cookies when you get them out of the oven, it makes them more appetizing.
- The best and quickest way to cool them is using a cooling rack.
