White Chocolate, Cranberry, Pistachio Cookies

INGREDIENTS 

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon quality pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped shelled pistachio nuts
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease a cookie sheet.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy and pale in color, 3-5 minutes. This step is important for ensuring soft, chewy cookies. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Using a wooden spoon, carefully stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, just until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips, dried cranberries and pistachio nuts.
4. Drop heap spoonfuls of the butter onto the greased cookie sheet.
5. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they just begin to turn golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
