These Cranberry Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday festivities. They are sweet, a little salty, and put over the top by the tart pop of fresh cranberries.
When I bought a couple of bags of fresh cranberries, I initially had some very different plans for them. In my mind, they were destined for scones and quick bread. These things will still probably happen, but as soon as I saw these cookies, I knew I had to make them instead.
It was a good call. The addition of fresh, tart cranberries to a traditional chocolate chip cookie is crazy delicious.
I found this recipe on Melissa's Southern Style Kitchen and couldn't pass it up.

Cranberry Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

- 16 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar , packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips

- 1 cup fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time. Beat until well-combined.
