These cookies offer a delightful combination of sweet and tart flavors, making them perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
200g
1 stick salted butter
110g
1 egg
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1 tsp baking powder
4.60g
1/2 cup dried cranberries
20g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes or mix by hand using a whisk.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue to beat until well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until evenly distributed.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined and a dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
6. Fold in Cranberries:
Gently fold in the dried cranberries using a spatula or a wooden spoon until they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
7. Shape Cookies:
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
9. Cool:
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your cranberry-infused sugar cookies with a refreshing beverage or as a delightful snack on their own!

Tips:

- Use room temperature butter: Using butter at room temperature ensures that it blends easily with the sugar, resulting in a smooth and consistent cookie dough.

- Chill the dough: After mixing the dough, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and prevents spreading during baking.

- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats: Lining your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats prevents the cookies from sticking and ensures even baking.

- Monitor baking time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake, as oven temperatures can vary. The edges should be lightly golden while the centers remain soft. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.

- Allow cookies to cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and enhances their texture.

In just a few simple steps, you can create delicious cranberry-infused sugar cookies that are perfect for sharing with friends and family. The tartness of the cranberries complements the sweetness of the cookies, creating a balanced and flavorful treat. Enjoy these cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea for a delightful experience.
