Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
- 0.5 tsp Ginger ground
- 0.25 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 0.125 tsp Nutmeg ground
- 0.125 tsp Cloves ground
Wet Ingredients
Other Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Cranberries dried
- 0.125 cup Sugar for coating, granulated, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Sift together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Beat in the honey until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Incorporate Cranberries
- Gently fold in the dried cranberries.
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape and Bake Cookies
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). If desired, roll the balls in granulated sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball slightly with a fork. Leave some space between cookies as they will spread during baking. Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
Cool and Serve
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Spiced Chocolate Cranberry Snap Cookies:
- For extra intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- If your cranberries are very dry, toss them with a teaspoon of water or honey before adding to the dough for better distribution.
- Don't overmix the dough; this can result in tough cookies.
- Adjust baking time depending on your oven and desired level of crispness. Start checking for doneness around 12 minutes.
