Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional — adds warmth
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened not melted
  • 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix-ins
  • 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries use sweetened or tart to taste
  • 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped and toasted
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks or chips 70% bittersweet or semisweet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl between additions. Mix in vanilla.
Mixing and Baking
  1. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined — stop when you see no streaks of flour.
  2. Fold in dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, and chocolate chunks with a spatula.
  3. Optional but recommended: chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  4. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Lightly press extra chocolate chunks onto tops for a prettier finish.
  5. Bake 10–12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Cookies should be golden at the edges with centers that still look slightly soft.
  6. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
