For this recipe, I used Anolon’s cookie sheet with silicone grips which is an amazing baking pan.  Nonstick and the bronze color is so pretty. I also used just about the best vanilla extract ever, from Adams Best. It gives these cookies such a wonderful vanilla flavor without being too strong.

 

How to Make White Chocolate Cranberry Crinkle Cookies

A few of my crinkle cookie recipes take a shortcut by using a boxed cake mix; however, this recipe is from scratch and is just as easy to make.  

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.  Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat if you’re not using a nonstick pan like the one from Anolon.  I sprayed mine with nonstick spray but it is not necessary.  The reason I used it was because I had been baking several types of cookies all day and wanted to be sure these didn’t stick.  

Next, add your dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder) in a bowl and whisk to combine, set aside.  Grab a large bowl and whisk the melted butter, sugar, and softened cream cheese until smooth.
