Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dried cranberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
