    Recipe Introduction


    Dried cranberries and cinnamon transform this reverse chocolate chip cookie
    into a holiday favorite. The coffee granules enhance the flavor of the
    chocolate.

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup (125 ml) Dutch process cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) baking soda
    1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, softened
    1/2 cup (125 ml) solid vegetable shortening, softened
    1/2 cup (125 ml) granulated sugar
    1 cup (250 ml) firmly packed light brown sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon (5 ml) instant coffee granules
    1 cup (250 ml) dried cranberries
    1 cup (250 ml) white chocolate chips
    1 cup (250 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Grease two baking sheets or line them with
    parchment paper. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, baking
    powder and baking soda, and set aside.

    In a large bowl beat butter, shortening, granulated sugar and brown sugar
    until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully
    combined before additions. In a small cup, mix together the vanilla and the
    coffee until the coffee is dissolved, then add to the butter mixture; beat
    to combine. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Stir in
    white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and dried cranberries.

    Drop 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of dough at a time onto baking sheets, spacing
    cookies about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until
    firm. Let cool for 1 minute then transfer to a wire rack to cool
    completely.

    Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 1 month. Makes
    about 48 cookies. These cookies are excellent for shipping.
