Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orange zest (from about 2 oranges)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and orange zest.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies freeze well and make excellent holiday gifts.
- For an extra pop of orange, drizzle with a simple orange glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice.
