• In a large bowl with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy and almost white in appearance, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the sugars and beat on high until fluffy.
• Add each egg one at a time until fully combined.
• Next add vanilla and almond extract. Blend on medium until nice and smooth...about 30 seconds.
• Turn mixer on low and add salt, flour, baking soda and baking powder.
• Mix until just combined.
• Turn off mixer and fold in chocolate chips and almonds.
• Using a cookie scoop, place mounds of dough about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes until golden brown.
• If desired, drizzle melted chocolate on top of the cookies. Then sprinkle immediately with sliced almonds. This is optional, but gives it such a pretty look!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat sugar, shortening, and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixture until smooth. Beat eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract into butter mixture.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until dough just comes together. Stir almonds, white chocolate chips, and dried cranberries into the dough.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake cookies until bottom edges are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool cookies for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

SOFT AND CHEWY WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 1-2 minutes or until well combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
• Slowly add in the dry ingredients and continue mixing until just combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then mix in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until thoroughly combined.
• Cover the cookie dough tightly and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
• Once the dough is almost chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
• Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and drop onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave a little room between each ball of cookie dough as they will spread a little while they bake.
• Bake in separate batches at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned and the top is set. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
