½teaspoonbaking soda(note: the video mistakenly says baking powder)
1cupwhite chocolate chips
½cupchopped shelled pistachio nuts
1cupdried cranberries(or dried cherries)
Note: If using unsalted nuts add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the flour
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a cookie sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars 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.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. 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.
Drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter onto the greased cookie sheet.
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.
