How to Make White Chocolate Cookies in an Easy-Bake Oven
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Yield
This recipe makes approximately 6 cookies, a perfect portion for snacking or sharing.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the creamed butter and sugar until it forms a smooth dough.
- Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 2: Prepare the Easy-Bake Oven
- Preheat: Preheat your Easy-Bake Oven according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your model.
- Grease the Pan: Lightly grease the Easy-Bake Oven pan to prevent sticking.
Baking Instructions for White Chocolate Cookies
For the Original Easy-Bake Oven (Lightbulb Model)
- Shape and Bake: Drop the dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the greased Easy-Bake pan. Use a spoon to shape each mound gently.
- Bake: Slide the pan into the oven and bake for about 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The cookies should still appear slightly doughy in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pan and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before enjoying warm.
For the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven (Electric Model)
- Shape and Bake: Place heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the greased Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven pan, leaving some space between each cookie for slight spreading.
- Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown. The cookies will be slightly doughy in the center but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, then enjoy the cookies warm, with gooey white chocolate and chewy cranberries.
Tips for Perfect White Chocolate Cookies
- Use Softened Butter: Soft butter blends more easily with the sugars, helping create a smooth cookie dough.
- Don’t Overbake: These cookies are best when removed from the oven while still slightly doughy, as they will firm up as they cool.
