Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 36 Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups soft butter or margarine
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Method
  1. Heat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add extracts and orange zest.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Mix in dry ingredients about a third at a time until incorporated (dough will be a little crumbly but not dry).
  5. Stir in white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and pecans.
  6. Drop by rounded spoonfuls on to a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet (I roll my dough into 1 ¼” balls for more uniform cookies). Allow your baking sheets to cool a bit between batches (placing dough on a hot baking sheet causes the cookies to flatten out too much).
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Cool cookies for 2 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooks Notes

Use your cookie scoop to drop balls of dough 1" apart on a parchment lined sheet and freeze for 4 hours or until solid.  Place the frozen balls of dough in a zip-lock bag or plastic container and store in the freezer for up to a month.  When you want to bake fresh cookies, place frozen balls of dough on you baking sheet and bake at the same temperature.  Cooking time will be slightly longer.
