Orange Cream Cookies

2 cups flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1/2 white sugar

1/2 firmly packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tbsp vanilla

2 tbsp orange zest and the juice of one orange

2 cups white chocolate chips

(to half the batch I added dried carnberries)

Preheat over to 375 degrees.

In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt - set aside.  In mixer cream butter and sugars together, beet in eggs and then vanilla until smooth.  Gradually add half of flour mixture add orange juice and mix and then add the rest of the flour.  Stir in orange zest, chocolate chips and cranberries.

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets - do not flatten the cookies.  Bake 8-10 minutes.  Do not overcook. Cookies will be thick.  Store in an airtight container.

Note:  These cookies have a short bread type texture.  If your dough still seems too dry add a tbsp of milk.
