Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest (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

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
  6. Bake the cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra orange flavor, add a teaspoon of orange extract.
  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with chopped white chocolate chunks if preferred.
