1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Using a stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, tangerine zest, vanilla, baking powder, and salt.
3
Beat in the egg. The mixture may look slightly curdled which is fine. Add the flour and dried cranberries and nuts, stirring until well combined.
4
Drop the dough by heaping teaspoons onto the baking sheets. Using the flat bottom of a glass dipped in sugar or a spoon, flatten each cookie slightly.
5
Bake the cookies for 7-10 minutes, or until they're barely set and a light golden brown around the edges. Make sure not to over bake your cookies or they will not be soft and chewy once they are cool.
6
Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

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.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
