Merry Cookies! Uhh, or Christmas!🎁🎄
What’s your favorite cookie? I’m guessing it probably has something to do with chocolate. I’m sure this will come as no surprise to but the good ole’ chocolate chip cookie is the most popular cookie of all time, according to the Huffington Post.🍪
Here’s their top 10 list of America’s favorite cookies:
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Brownies (I know – it’s not even a cookie.)
- Peanut Butter Cookies
- Oreos
- Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
- Sugar Cookies
- Shortbread Cookies
- Butter Cookies (Mmm butter.)
- M&M Cookies
Although I do appreciate some chocolate now and then, I also enjoy fruity desserts as well. Homemade fruit pie is probably one of my favorite desserts ever.❤️
How do you feel about fruit in your cookies... say, as in an orange cranberry cookie?
I for one am a fan.👍 I make these Holiday Biscotti with lemon zest, almonds, dried cranberries, and white chocolate – ridiculously AMAZING!💯
I don't even need coffee for dipping; I just crunch away at those heavenly sticks of goodness. They are definitely a staple in our house around the holidays.🌟
Recently I was thinking about making them and I interrupted myself with the thought of making a cookie instead (am I the only one that happens to?).🤔
I do like trying new things - and developing new recipes, so that’s exactly what I did!!
Cranberry Orange Cookies!
I would like to introduce to you my latest creation… these Cranberry Orange Cookies with White Chocolate Chips!💫
They are pretty phenomenal, just ask the B man. He should know cause he's eaten/inhaled almost half of them and I made them less than 24 hours ago.
That is truly saying something since he is a consummate dark chocolate-eating fiend (self-appointed of course). What can I say? The man has good taste.👌 Cause they are redonkulous!!🙌
They are a yummy combo of tart and sweet.
They have many of the ingredients you would expect like flour, sugar, and butter but they also include some other ingredients that take them up a notch!
There’s white chocolate, orange zest, fresh squeezed orange juice, and frozen uncooked cranberries!👇 Wha Wha Whaaa? Not even kidding.✌️
When all those ingredients are combined together it’s one remarkably delicious flavor experience.
Who knew cranberry orange white chocolate cookies could be so yummy!??
Plus they have so much vitamin C from all that fruit they’re actually good for you. Ok so maybe they’re not "health food," but they make me happy and they taste really good!😄
If you’re looking for a new and delicious cookie to try, that includes some fresh fruit and tastes like a Creamsicle and cosmopolitan had a baby (minus the liquor of course), your search is over!
These Cranberry Orange Cookies with White Chocolate Chips are just the cookies for you!!❤️

These are the best cookies ever. Period. I used frozen cranberries because I didn't read down to see that either were acceptable. WHEN I make it again I'll use fresh so they don't squish when I go to ball them after refrigeration. There's would also be great for St. Valentine's Day.

Hi Liz, thanks you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the cookies. I agree they would be great for Valentine's Day.

Stephanie@ApplesforCJ
This sounds like such a great combination. I love cranberries and chocolate together. Orange creamsicle used to be my favorite ice cream years ago so this sounds really good.
holly
Thanks a bunch Stephanie! I was a huge fan of orange creamsicle as well. And now cranberries added to the mix take it to a whole notha' level!!
Sandhya Ramakrishnan
Orange creamsicle along with cranberry sounds so delicious! I would love to bake it for this holiday. We are big fans of citrus flavors in our house 🙂
holly
Thank you Sandhya! I cook/bake with citrus constantly. It adds so much flavor and healthiness - what's not to love!??
