  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to cool room temp
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Mix-ins:

  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate bar, plus more for topping, if desired
  • ⅔ cup dried sweetened cranberries, plus more for topping, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
