Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies


I've been on a dark chocolate kick lately and I've fallen in love with these Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies.

Dried cranberries are often overlooked as a cookie ingredient but they are very popular during the holiday season.

This recipe calls for Dutch process cocoa along with dark chocolate chips - so it's sure to satisfy even the strongest chocolate cravings!

And the dark chocolate pairs so well with the tart cranberries. Yum!!

Dutch process cocoa is a special type of cocoa that has been modified in it's color as well as having a milder a taste.

Learn more about the differences between natural cocoa and Dutch process cocoa.

You'll also be using whole wheat pastry flour which has a very fine texture and results in very light cookies.

This pastry flour is very different from regular whole wheat flour which will make your cookies more dense.
