Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix together.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and orange zest and blend with an electric mixer on medium high until fluffy. (you can also use the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment).
- Add the eggs in one at a time, blending them in after each one is added.
- Then add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients blending on low speed until the flour is just barely mixed in.
- Be very careful not to over-mix.
- Add the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries and gently stir them into the cookie batter.
- Use a 1 ½ or 2 tablespoon scoop, scoop equal sized cookie dough and plate them on the prepared baking sheets aat least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and gently tap the baking sheet on the counter for the centers to sink. Then place them back in the oven for an additional 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes then place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips if you'd like.
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Add ½ cup more chocolate chips if you'd like.
- Use gluten free one-to-one flour like Bob's Red Mill GF brand.
- Omit the orange zest if you'd like.
- When you remove them from the oven when tapping the centers down, you can use a large round cookie cutter and gently swirl it around the edge of the cookies to shape them back into perfectly round circles.
- Make sure the butter is fully softened so it blends smoothly. Let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before using.
- Make sure to measure using the spoon and level method as adding too much flour will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
