How to Make Cranberry Decadent Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup vegetable shortening, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee until the coffee is dissolved. Add to the wet ingredients and beat to combine.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup dried cranberries by hand.
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
  11. Let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
