Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 large orange
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Mix-Ins:

3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Optional Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the dried cranberries and, if using, the white chocolate chips.
Scoop 1 1/2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will appear soft but will firm as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
