White Chocolate Orange Cranberry Cookies

Here’s another batch of cookies I made for my mom and aunts. I also brought a few over for Gary’s family when we went over for a mother’s day bbq.

These cookies are so good! I’m glad I gave them away, otherwise I would have sat there and ate the whole batch in one sitting. These are refreshing with the hint of orange flavor. I love the orange and chocolate combo.

The only change I made was reducing the amount of nuts to 1/2 cup and adding a cup of dried cranberries to the batter.
