Cranberry Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookies

These white chocolate chip cranberry cookies have a bright, citrusy flavor. You will love the addition of orange extract and orange zest! 

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract or orange oil from candy-making department
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, Stir the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Add egg, extract, and zest: Beat in the egg, orange extract, and zest until well combined.

  5. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. If the dough feels dry or crumbly, add 1 tbsp of milk to bring it together.

  6. Gently fold the dried and white chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers still look soft. Be careful not to overbake, as this helps them stay chewy.
