How To Make cranberry white chocolate chip cookies

  • 1
    Put the cranberries in a wide and shallow bowl; pour in a bit of the orange juice. Enough so they're surrounded by it, but not drowning. Cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour or more. Afterwards, place a colander over a bowl and pour the cranberries and orange juice through, putting the cranberries and the orange juice they soaked in aside.
  • 2
    Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugars and beat again. Add the eggs, vanilla and 1 1/4 tsp. of the orange juice. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • 3
    Sift the dry ingredients together, then add to the butter-sugar mixture, a bit at a time, beating until just mixed. Fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips and the almonds. Let chill for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
