Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
Red food coloring (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butters: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
Add Cranberries and Chocolate: Fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
Shape the Cookies: Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate (Optional): If desired, melt additional white chocolate and drizzle over the cooled cookies, or use red food coloring to add heart decorations.
