Ingredients

1 (17.9 oz) package Snickerdoodle cookie mix (cinnamon sugar packet removed)

1 large egg

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened

3 tablespoons sour cream

¾ cup white chocolate chips

¾ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with baking spray.

In a large bowl, beat together cookie mix, egg, softened butter, and sour cream using a hand or stand mixer for 2–3 minutes, until fully combined.

Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until evenly mixed.

Use a 1½-inch cookie scoop to portion dough into balls and place on baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.

Bake for 8–13 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Do not overbake.

Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving warm.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Freezing: Freeze baked cookies in a single layer for up to 2–3 months.

Tip: The cinnamon sugar packet in the mix is not needed for this recipe — repurpose it for toast, French toast, or cocktails!

Butter Tip: Make sure butter is softened (not melted) for best texture.

Optional Chill: Dough can be chilled for 30–60 minutes to reduce spreading.
