Ingredients

36 servings

3/4 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature (12 Tbsp or 1.5 sticks))
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
2 tsp grated orange zest
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
3/4 cups white chocolate chips
2 cups fresh cranberries (8 oz. bag) (coarsely chopped, or frozen cranberries, or substitute 1 cup dried cranberries*)

Steps

Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the butter and both sugars for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat well to incorporate. Beat in the zest and vanilla extract.
Add Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the butter mixture and beat just until combined and dough comes together.
Add Cranberries and Chocolate: Using a stiff spatula, stir in the cranberries and chocolate chips just until incorporated. Shape into 1-inch balls (a small cookie scoop makes it easy) and place 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown at the edges (Cookies with dried cranberries will bake faster, about 11-13 minutes). Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
