Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and orange zest on medium speed of the electric mixer until well blended. (The mixture will have the consistency of wet sand.) Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
2 In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the sugar mixture and stir by hand until almost combined; add the cranberries and white chocolate and stir just until blended.
3 Drop spoonfuls of dough about 1 inch apart on a cookie sheets. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until light golden and set around the edges but still soft in the middle. Let set on cookie sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

- If using frozen cranberries, chop cranberries while still frozen - This is a nice chewy cookie, use of fresh/frozen cranberries verses craisins gives the cookie a nice fresh slightly tart flavor - Cookies do spread during baking - Crack eggs in a separate bowl to make sure egg is okay, and you do not get any shell into the rest of your mixture - Dough will be sticky - We recommend using a scoop for making balls of cookie dough – this will assist in making sure all balls are consistent in size for even baking - We recommend placing parchment on baking sheet for easy removal of cookies, and speedy clean up – if using parchment, do not need to use non-stick cooking spray - We do recommend adding the pecans as suggested or walnuts - Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips could be substituted for the White Chocolate Chunks/Chips - Creaming – “to beat and ingredient or combination of ingredients until the mixture is soft, smooth, and creamy. This term is often used when a recipe calls for a fat such as butter and blending it with sugar” (Food Lover’s Companion – Herbst and Herbst)

Aww man These cookies are good!! I love Orange Muffins but I never tried Orange flavored cookies. I didn't use white chocolate chunks but White morsels, The cookies are a bit too sweet tho, so don't eat too many or you'll get sick of them.

Love this recipe! Made a quadruple batch and brought to work. They were a big hit. I used frozen cranberries. Caution, these cookies are addicting!

These turned out really yummy. I used fresh cranberries, and the tartness is a nice balance with the white chocolate. My husband was surprised how much he liked these cookies. I am going to make another batch tomorrow! I got about 2 dozen big cookies, I will make them smaller next time.
