white chocolate Archives - Amanda is Hungry

Ingredients

Matcha – use a higher quality matcha, ceremonial or premium, as they will be more green!

Cranberries – I know some people are very much anti-cranberry, so these can be taken out, however replace them with more white chocolate chips, otherwise you will have some sparse looking cookies.

Holidays are coming!! and that means cookie season is upon us! December is meant for warm cookies straight from the oven with a hot drink on the couch… hiding from the cold and rain outside. I love a cookie that has some crunch, some sweet, and some salt, so why not add some tart into the mix! Featuring the cranberry white chocolate walnut cookie! Cranberries feel so fall and so holiday, so they’re perfect in a cookie.

Like most cookies, I recommend making your dough at least a day in advance of when you plan to bake them. They just end up being tastier and if you have too much, you can just freeze them. Instead of pre-scooping and freezing on a tray, I’ve been in the habit of squishing it all in a tray, portioning into squares, pre-slicing, and then popping it all into a reusable bag in the freezer. Later I can thaw slightly, break off the squares and then bake!

Ingredients:

Cranberries – a dried cranberry is perfect

Walnuts – Use whole walnuts or walnut pieces. They kind of end up breaking up more in the stand mixer regardless.

White chocolate – I used chips, but if you’re extra fancy, go for the chunks!
