Description

Perfect for holiday cookie gifting, these double chocolate cookies have the perfect balance of tart and sweet, thanks to dried cranberries and semisweet chocolate chips.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two cookie sheets.
2 Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add flour mixture until combined. Mix in cranberries and chocolate chips.
4 Place rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are soft and tops are no longer glossy, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
