Step-by-Step Instructions

  4. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and grated orange zest until evenly mixed.
  5. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  6. Sift in the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Fold together until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the white chocolate chunks, dried cranberries, and walnuts if using.
  8. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  9. Scoop the dough into 1.5-ounce balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly underdone.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
