Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Zest
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Juice
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries, chopped
  • Optional: White chocolate chips for added sweetness
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Gently fold in the chopped dried cranberries.
  • Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa!
