Ingredients

½ cup shortening
½ cup butter softened
1 ¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 ¾ cup white chocolate chips divided
1 ¼ cup dried cranberries divided

Instructions

In a large stand mixer bowl, cream the shortening, butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Add vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips and 1 cup dried cranberries.
Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (Optional but recommended!)
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

These cookies will stay fresh for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

For a more bakery-style look, top the cookies with additional white chocolate chips and cranberry pieces.
