Dark Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Whisk the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl and set it aside. 
2. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, cream the butter and both sugars together. Add in eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Using a spatula, scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure the mixture is well combined
3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating well after each addition. 
4. Once the dough is fully combined, add in the dried cranberries, dark chocolate chunks, and pecans and mix to incorporate. 
5. Make rounded dough balls using a 1 tbsp (15 mL) cookie scoop. Using the bottom of a glass or your hands, press down on the dough balls to create a 2cm high round disk shape. If desired, top with additional pieces of chocolate, cranberries and pecans. 
6. Place the cookie dough disks on a cookie sheet, allowing room to spread. Bake for 9 – 11 minutes. Cookies will have a slightly golden bottom. Allow to cool for one minute on the pan, and then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk!
