This is one of my 4 holiday recipes from Real Simple that I make every year. All delicious! See Gingersnaps, Oatmeal & Pie Spice Cookies and White Chocolate Snowballs for other recipes. I always make all 4 recipes at the same time since they have the same base ingredients, which makes it easy to make A LOT OF cookies and sweets!
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup candied pecans
1 tablespoon rum
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. With an electric mixer on medium high, beat the butter, brown and granulated sugars, corn syrup and vanilla for 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk togetheer the flour, salt and baking soda. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Add cranberries, pecans and rum.
