I’ve been making this particular cookie recipe for years at Christmastime, all the way back to before we had kids (which means at least a decade). It’s one of those cookies I always look forward to making and always receive compliments on.
These buttery cookies are nice and chewy, with white chocolate chips, cranberries, and both orange zest and orange juice in the dough. Take them out of the oven when they’re just golden on the edges but soft in the middle.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Grease two large cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Incorporate the egg, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla. Beat in the flour, baking soda, and salt, followed by the cranberries and white chocolate chips.

Notes
If you like nuts, chopped walnuts or pecans would be a lovely addition.
