There’s something about using real cranberries in recipes that just screams fall and winter baking! These big chocolate chip cranberry cookies are made with real cranberries and are my new favorite cookie for the holidays.
As soon as my husband saw these cookies, he said “you made big cookies”!
For years he’s been telling me about these big cookies they sell at his work.
They’re the size of your hand, and are just awesome (he’s brought me one home to try).
I have a big scoop that I usually use for muffins (like these gingerbread cranberry muffins) and as I was making the dough for these chocolate chip cranberry cookies and going to reach for the normal cookie scoop I use, I saw the big one and thought I’d give it a try.
I am so glad I did, because I think these cookies work perfectly as big cookies.
They’re super delicious.
The cookies have a great texture, where they’re soft in the middle. The real cranberries give the perfect tart contrast to the sweet chocolate chips.
These chocolate chip cranberry cookies are perfect for the winter, and are a great winter baking recipe!

We never tried using fresh cranberries in cookies before, and we’d LOVE to try it!!! Fantastic recipe for cookies dear, pinned and will be used really soon:D The only problem is, we’re trying to lose some weight ahead of Christmas and we won’t be able to do it with this temptation:D:D
Wishing you all Happy Holidays and an amazing 2018, full of love, health and prosperity!

When thanksgiving and Christmas roll around, I make a habit of grabbing several bags to throw into the freezer. They last a long time!! I use them in stuffing with fruit and herbs; great addition to stir fry? Think about all the different combinations with leftovers! Leftover turkey, fresh sweet potatoes, green beans or peas, brocolli, a bit of frozen orange juice, a dash of soy sauce and wa-la? You have reconstructed Turkey Dinner!

That’s so clever Sandra!

Made these for a Christmas cookie swap at church and everyone wanted the recipe. I followed all directions except I made them smaller due to the amount of people and I added walnuts which tasted awesome in my opinion. Great easy cookie recipe!
Sweetphi says
Oh I love that addition of walnuts, thank you so much for commenting and your wonderful feedback, it makes me so happy to hear that everyone loved them!
