Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
2½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped dried cranberries
(Optional: white chocolate chips, if you like)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar.
-
Beat in the egg, orange juice, and orange zest until fully combined.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until everything comes together.
-
Fold in the chopped dried cranberries (and white chocolate chips, if using).
-
Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet or rack.
-
Bake for about 8 minutes at 350°F — or adjust the time slightly for softer or crispier cookies, depending on your preference.
-
Let cool before serving.
