Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. If the dough is too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon of milk to loosen it slightly.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries using a spatula.
Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden, but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your freshly baked Cranberry Orange Cookies!
