This is the same cookie dough I use for my trusted Christmas M&M cookies and chocolate chip cookies, it's simple, reliable and consistent.

Recipe Ingredients
Note: The full ingredients and quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
Notes On The Key Ingredients
- Unsalted butter - use chilled butter; the Thermomix softens it to the ideal consistency.
- White chocolate chips - or a bar of chocolate broken into chunks.
- Dried cranberries - either a supermarket home brand or Ocean Spray works well. Ocean Spray's cranberries are sold as Craisins.
- Egg - use a large egg at room temperature.
Step-by-Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Soften the butter in the Thermomix until smooth.
- Add the sugars and blend until the mixture looks creamy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla until combined.
- Add the flour, bicarb and salt, then mix until combined. Stir in the cranberries and white chocolate gently using a spatula.
- Optional: Transfer the dough to a separate mixing bowl. I find it much easier to scoop and shape the dough this way without the Thermomix blades getting in the way.
- Roll into small balls, space them out on the trays and decorate with a few extra cranberries and white chocolate. Bake until golden at the edges and soft in the centre. Leave on the tray to cool before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Thermomix Cookie Tips
- If the dough feels too soft, chill it in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Leave enough space for the cookies to spread so they don't merge into each other.
Storage
Keep the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
They also keep well in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve them, let them thaw at room temperature.

Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter chilled and cubed
- 100 g brown sugar
- 45 g white sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 215 g plain flour
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 100 g white chocolate chips plus extra to decorate
- 80 g dried cranberries plus extra to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
- Place the butter cubes into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 12 sec/speed 5 until softened. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
- Add both sugars. Mix for 20 sec/speed 4. Scrape down the bowl, then mix again for 15 sec/speed 4 until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix for 15 sec/speed 3. Scrape down the bowl and mix again for 15 sec/speed 3.
- Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Mix for 10 sec/speed 4, scrape down the bowl, then mix again for 3 sec/speed 4.
- Stir in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips with a spatula. Tip:Transfer the dough to a regular mixing bowl. I find it much easier to scoop and shape the dough this way without the Thermomix blades getting in the way.
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them 5 cm apart on two baking trays. Press a few extra white chocolate chips and cranberries on top. Tip: If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 20 minutes before shaping.
- Bake one tray at a time for 12-14 minutes, until golden at the edges but still soft in the centre. Keep the second tray chilled in the fridge while the first bakes.
- Leave the cookies on the trays for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.
Notes
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw at room temperature.
