It’s Christmas time, friends! That means we are going to need a lot of cookies and a lot of strong coffee to tackle everything on our to do lists. The decorating, the shopping, the kid’s Christmas plays, the present wrapping, etc., not to mention all of the regular everyday business…whew! Let’s get our energy up with some fabulous cookies and coffee!

Remember those Folgers® commercials “The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup”? I can’t help but sing it in my head whenever I see the iconic folgers classic roast that comes in the red can!
This is the good stuff, made from Mountain Grown® beans, the world’s richest and most aromatic. Folgers Classic Roast Coffee has been The Best Part of Wakin’ Up™ for more than 150 years. Can you believe that? 150 years, wow!
This has become my afternoon ritual most days: A cup (or two) of coffee, a cookie (or 3), a sleeping baby on my chest, and my laptop ready to go! Usually I am working on things for the blog, or I’m gathering ideas for these fun Parade articles, but lately I have been Christmas shopping too!
Now that I have 5 little ones, going out to store after store to find the perfect gifts is just too much. So online shopping it is! Nothing like peppermint mocha cream in my Folgers® coffee, Christmas music on Pandora, and these white chocolate cranberry cookies to get me in the holiday spirit!
These cookies need to make an appearance on your cookie trays this year. They are made with brown butter – see all those tiny flecks in the cookies? That’s the heavenly flavor of brown butter! It really takes these to a new level of yum!
Soft and chewy, tart and sweet. These are definitely a must make! So grab your Folgers® and let’s bake!

Margaret says
Sorry, I need to read to the bottom before asking silly questions 🙂
Margaret says
So, never having done this… How do you brown butter?
Sam says
Hi! How many cookies does this recipe make? Thanks!
Stephanie Brubaker says
About 4 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
Angela says
how many cookies does this yield?
Marlene says
Question about the brown butter, which I made last night: is it 1 cup brown butter or two sticks/1 cup butter converted to brown butter? There is some evaporation during the browning so it looks like I have less than a cup of the finished product. Thanks!
Stephanie Brubaker says
Hi Marlene! You need 1 cup (2 sticks) butter that you will then brown. I’m sorry for the confusion, Hope you enjoy the cookies as much as we do!
Marlene says
Thanks for the quick reply, Stephanie. That’s what I did, wanted to make sure I had the correct amount before baking the cookies.
Michele Rutti says
Hi,on the recipe for Brown Butter White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies the recipe only calls for white morsels but the picture clearly shows chocolate and I’ve had these cookies before and know they had chocolate.would I put the same amount of chocolate morsels as the white or half the amount of the white and add same amount of chocolate? Thanx
Stephanie Brubaker says
There is no chocolate other than white chocolate in these cookies. Maybe the cranberries might be what appears to be chocolate to you? Anyway. If you want to add chocolate chips to these I would use 1/2 white chips and 1/2 chocolate. Enjoy!
Kathy says
Sorry to bother you
I’m gettin ready to make cranberry cookies
Does this recipe need brown butter[which I never made ] or do I just follow directions as is
Thx thx thx
Stephanie Brubaker says
I used brown butter when making these. If you’d rather not use brown butter, use softened butter instead. They will still be great, but they won’t have that nuttiness that brown butter gives. Hope this helps, enjoy!
Dorothy at Shockingly Delicious says
Those DO look like the absolute best. And I like how easy they are.
Nutmeg Nanny says
White chocolate and cranberry is the perfect combination! These cookies looks perfect for any holiday cookie tray 🙂

These do look like the best cookies. I love the thought of the browned butter mixing with the flavor of white chocolate and chewy cranberries. YUM!
