White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
We love how incredibly soft and chewy these white chocolate cranberry cookies are. Best of all? No dough chilling time required!
These white chocolate cranberry cookies offer tidings of comfort and joy to any Christmas cookie tray. Each cookie is thick and incredibly soft with sweet white chocolate chips and tart dried cranberries dotted throughout. Their red and white coloring looks so festive for the Christmas holiday, but they’re so good that we eat them all year round!
Ingredients for White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
- Butter: The key to making a fabulous cookie is starting with softened butter. If you forgot to soften it, fret not: here’s how to soften butter quickly.
- Brown sugar: Brown sugar adds more moisture to the dough than white sugar, resulting in a chewier, softer cookie.
- Egg: One egg binds all the ingredients together perfectly.
- All-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is the goldilocks of flour for cookies. It’s not too soft like cake flour, but not too tough and dense like bread flour. All-purpose flour adds just the right amount of structure to a cookie while still allowing it to be soft.
- White chocolate chips: Overwhelmed by the amount of white chocolate chips at the store? Our Test Kitchen pros found that the best white chocolate chips are Ghirardelli Classic White Chips.
- Dried cranberries: We love the beautiful maroon hue, tart taste and pleasant chew that dried cranberries add to these cranberry white chocolate cookies.

64 Easy Christmas Desserts to Make This Year
From no-bake fudge and truffles to spiced cakes and chewy cookies, these easy Christmas desserts make enjoying sweet treats simple and stress-free all season long.
For many years, my next-door neighbor gifted my family a beautiful, homemade Yule log cake to enjoy on Christmas—meringue mushrooms and all! It was extra-special to me because, in my chaotic house, we relied on easy Christmas desserts that could be made in a flash. But I’m not complaining. As this collection shows, quick Christmas treats are just as festive, beautiful and delicious as more labor-intensive ones. Christmas dinner is great, but no-fuss holiday desserts are the real stars of the day.
We compiled simple Christmas dessert recipes that can be prepped in 20 minutes or less and are full of seasonal flavors. There are rich, chocolaty treats that taste like hot cocoa, red and white swirled minty bites, and pretty Bundts that practically decorate themselves. If the oven is full, try a no-bake treat, like fudge or truffles. And, of course, we include Christmas cookies, from jammy thumbprints to sugary snowballs and buttery shortbread. All that’s left is to make a batch of homemade eggnog and enjoy the holiday.

Sheet-Pan Chicken Potpie
There’s nothing I love more than feeling warm and cozy when it’s cold outside. And when it comes to meals that make me feel this way, nothing beats chicken potpie. This sheet-pan chicken potpie is a twist on the classic comfort food, with a creamy, hearty filling spread onto a sheet pan instead of into a pie plate, and a topping of puff pastry instead of pie crust that ensures there’s enough golden-brown pastry for every single forkful.
Shortcut ingredients including frozen veggies, shredded rotisserie chicken and refrigerated puff pastry make prepping this crowd-sized recipe a breeze.
Ingredients for Sheet-Pan Chicken Potpie
- Puff pastry: Cut the store-bought puff pastry into strips and use them as a buttery, flaky topping for the chicken potpie. Feel free to use homemade puff pastry if you have it; it’s a fun baking project to try sometime if you’ve got a few hours on your hands.
- Veggies: The savory filling includes classic potpie veggies, including peas, corn, carrots, green beans and onions. Using a frozen bag of mixed vegetables makes the prep work a breeze.
- Heavy cream: Heavy cream adds a rich flavor to the filling.
- Chicken broth: Chicken broth adds a savory, concentrated chicken flavor to the filling. Use a low-sodium variety to control the salt level in the final dish.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken: This sheet-pan chicken potpie recipe uses store-bought rotisserie chicken. You could also use leftover shredded or cubed chicken breast or chicken thighs for this recipe. Use any leftovers in another rotisserie chicken recipe.
- Flour or cornstarch: Flour helps to thicken the savory filling. You could also use cornstarch as a thickener.
- Egg: A beaten egg is used to create an egg wash that’s brushed onto the pastry strips, giving them a shiny, golden brown finish once baked.
