Cranberry Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the perfect time of year to celebrate the classic flavor combination of cranberry and orange. I made my first batch of homemade cookies when I was 10 years old. It was a simple peanut butter cookie and made completely from scratch. So it’s safe to say that my love affair with baking came early in life. I know what you’re thinking, I must have been supervised by a Parent at that age, but I wasn’t. My Mom and Grandma’s taught me at a young age how to cook and bake and I was completely at home creaming butter and sugar together to the perfect consistency. I also had no fear of working with a preheated oven. Baking was, and still is my happy place.
