Cranberry Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies, redolent with the flavors of the season, are crisp and light. I got this recipe from cookingbytheseatofmypants.com but have not made the cookies yet. I put the recipe here so I won't lose it.

• Ready In: 27 mins
• Yields: 48 cookies

Ingredients

• 2  cups flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3⁄4 cup butter, at room temperature (1-1/2 sticks)
• 1  cup granulated sugar
• 1  large egg
•  orange zest, grated (zest of 1 orange)
• 1⁄2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
• 1⁄2 cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or silpat.
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light in color. Beat in egg and orange zest. Add flour mixture a little at a time with mixer on low speed, stirring until just combine. Fold in cranberries and chocolate chips.
4. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 9-12 minutes in preheated oven or until the edges of the cookies are just slightly golden. Cool for 3-4 minutes on pan, then transfer to a baking rack and cool completely.
5. Note: Dark chocolate chips may be used in this recipe. Adding coconut is an option as is adding nuts.
