Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • Zest of 1 large orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
  5. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the dried cranberries, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For optimal texture, reheat in the oven.
