Cranberry Orange WinterGlow Crème Cookies bring together all the flavors that make winter baking feel warm and magical. Soft, buttery dough forms the base, while bright orange zest adds a sunny citrus note that cuts through the richness. Tart dried cranberries provide pops of festive color and tang, and creamy white chocolate melts into each cookie for a luscious, dessert-like finish. The combination is vibrant, cozy, and unmistakably seasonal.
These cookies bake up tender and lightly golden around the edges, with soft centers that stay beautifully chewy. The dough comes together quickly, making them perfect for holiday baking, gift-giving, or anytime you want a cookie that tastes like winter cheer in every bite. A sprinkle of coarse sugar gives them a delicate sparkle, while an optional orange glaze makes the flavors shine even brighter.
