Cranberry Orange Cookies are soft, chewy cookies bursting with bright citrus flavor and sweet-tart cranberries. These festive treats are perfect for the holidays or any time you’re craving a refreshing twist on a classic cookie.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp orange zest (from about 1 orange)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Substitute dried cranberries with chopped dried cherries for a variation.
  • Use dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Add 1/4 tsp orange extract for a stronger citrus flavor.
  • Drizzle with orange glaze for a festive touch.
  • To freeze, scoop dough into balls and freeze for up to 2 months; bake from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes.
