Ingredients

  • ½ cup Butter room temperature
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest
  • 10 drops Orange Essential Oil edible
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In an electric mixer bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the orange zest and essential oil and mix again to combine.
  • Add the egg to the butter and sugars and mix on low speed until combined.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together then add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Add the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips and mix by hand using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until everything is combined.
  • Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop 1 ¼" dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet about 2" apart. 
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 2-5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool. Enjoy!
