These white chocolate-dipped cranberry orange sugar cookies are the most festive cookie to include on your cookie line-up! The trio of cranberries, orange, and white chocolate is unbeatable!
In case you need something other than cheesecake swirled gingerbread to add to your cheat-food list for this month….
It’s the season of cookies and its time to properly celebrate that fact. With stacks of white chocolate cranberry orange sugar cookies.
Preferably stacks so high that they teeter a bit.
Requiring you to fix it by eating a cookie of course. Like so. ^^^
These cranberry orange sugar cookies pretty much sum up holiday cookies in a nutshell. We’ve got fragrant orange + sweet, chewy dried cranberries all wrapped up in a buttery sugar cookie.
And obviously we gotta dip that sucker in white chocolate. You just gotta do it.
They will disappear within moments, guys. They kinda shine and stand out on any cookie tray.
Under the assumption that they actually make it to the cookie tray. Cookie accidents are just known to happen. ??
