Directions:-Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. -Cream the Butter & Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. -Add Eggs & Orange Flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Next, add the orange zest and fresh orange juice, mixing until well combined. -Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. -Mix Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. -Fold in Cranberries & Chocolate: Gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips, if using. -Scoop the Dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. -Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. -Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. |
