Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and freshly squeezed orange juice to the creamed mixture. Beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries and, if desired, the white chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delightful Orange Cranberry Cookies!
