Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons; 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (135g) white chocolate morsels or chopped white chocolate
- 3/4 cup (75g) dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup (62g) salted pistachios, shells removed
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Mix in the room temperature egg and pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
5. Gently fold in the white chocolate morsels, dried cranberries, and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 72 hours) before baking.
7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Notes
Chilling the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to 72 hours) is crucial for better texture.
Pay close attention to the baking time; overbaking can lead to dry cookies, while underbaking can result in a gooey center.
