Happy Cookie Friday! Are you already waiting for the weekend to start? Me. Yes! Probably since Tuesday. Luckily, I made these delicious Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies several days ago – helps a lot to survive all those days between Sunday and Friday…

So today’s cookies are made with chocolate, yet again. It seems I can’t get rid of this habit when it comes to cookies. Well, they are delicious and who gives a f***?! Walk an extra mile with the dog and all is fine. They are not that bad anyway compared to a heavy chocolate cake, so all is fine here. Take an extra one.

So, do you like cranberries? I fell in love with them when living in the U.S. for a while. Since then, they end up in a lot of bakes and dishes. Cookies, cakes, granola, or salad – everything gets a bit better with cranberries. I love the sweet and sour combination – especially together with chocolate. If you haven’t tried, you should do so, definitely. That’s all folks. Happy baking and Happy Cookie Friday!

These cookies are quick to make and are great for snacking between meals. If stored properly, they will keep for several days. Provided, of course, that you haven’t gobbled them all up at once! Simply place them in a good old cookie tin with a snug-fitting lid and store them at room temperature. Te cookie tin should not seal airtight, though. The cookies would soften and then they are just not as good anymore…

If these 15 cookies feel like too many to handle at once, you can easily freeze some of them and store them in the freezer for up to three months. Whenever you get a craving, simply take one out and let it warm up to room temperature. Easy-peasy…

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Chop the chocolate and melt about 9 oz. (250g) of the chocolate in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl over a pot with simmering water. Let it cool down a bit.

2. Add the butter and both sugars to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix it in. Next, add the melted chocolate and mix it in. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and add it to the bowl – mix until just combined. Finally, add the remaining chopped chocolate and dried cranberries and fold them in.

3. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop* and place dough balls with enough space in between on the baking sheet and bake for about 15-16 minutes. The edges of the cookies should be crisp and the surface should have some cracks. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool down completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Schokolade grob hacken und etwa 250g davon in der Mikrowelle oder in einer hitzebeständigen Schüssel über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser schmelzen. Etwas abkühlen lassen.

2. Die Butter mit den beiden Zuckersorten in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Den Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und unterrühren. Die geschmolzene Schokolade zugeben und ebenfalls unterrühren. Das Mehl zusammen mit dem Kakaopulver, Backpulver und Salz in einer separaten Schüssel vermischen und dann zur großen Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die verbliebene gehackte Schokolade zusammen mit den getrockneten Cranberries unterheben.

3. Mit einem Esslöffel oder Cookie Scoop* Teigportionen abstechen, zu Kugeln formen und dann mit genügend Abstand zueinander auf das Backblech setzen. Die Cookies für etwa 15-16 Minuten backen – die Cookies sollten am Rand knusprig sein und an der Oberfläche Risse bekommen haben. Die Cookies aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit verbliebenem Teig wiederholen.

About me


Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
