Ingredients: 10 tablespoons (5 oz.) salted butter, softened; 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 3 teaspoons orange zest, plus 3 Tbsp. fresh juice, divided (from 1 large orange); 2 1/2 cups (about 10 5/8 oz.) all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon table salt; 1/8 teaspoon baking soda; 1 cup white chocolate chips (6 oz.); 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries; 1 1/2 cups (about 6 oz.) powdered sugar

Servings: persons

10 tablespoons (5 oz.) salted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 teaspoons orange zest, plus 3 Tbsp. fresh juice, divided (from 1 large orange)
2 1/2 cups (about 10 5/8 oz.) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white chocolate chips (6 oz.)
1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
1 1/2 cups (about 6 oz.) powdered sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Beat butter with a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy; gradually add granulated sugar, and beat until well combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Beat in 2 teaspoons of the orange zest until blended.
2
Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture gradually, beating on low speed until blended. Stir in white chocolate chips and cranberries.
3
Drop cookie dough by heaping tablespoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned on bottom, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets 2 minutes; remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4
Whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and remaining 1 teaspoon orange zest in a small bowl. Drizzle or pipe glaze over cooled cookies; let stand 20 minutes for glaze to set.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
