Cranberry Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 7, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi, Everyone!

Today I have for you one of my favorite cookies.  Now it’s not low calorie, but I really do try whenever I make cookies.  My philosophy is if there are chocolate chips in it, then cut back on the sugar and chips and that is exactly what I did in this recipe.  Plus I used whole wheat pastry flour for a little added fiber.

These are my Cranberry Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookies.  They are crisp, sweet and have the most wonderful orange flavor.  Every bite you get a wonderful sweetness and the orange extract take the cookies up to another level.  I simply love them.  Out of all the batches of cookies I made this past weekend, these were the first to go!!!


The first day they are really soft, but by the second day they have a nice crunch to them.  I tend to like crunchy cookies and I’m pretty impressed how flat and crunchy they are considering I didn’t use shortening, just butter.  They are also a very light cookie and you can so eat more than one, which is the hard part.  These cookies come in at just under a hundred calories.  I know, I know I should have made them less calories but I couldn’t because I wanted the ultimate cranberry cookie and these cookies satisfy everything I look for in a cookie!   That’s why I only make them once a year!!

One thing I really love this time of year is the combination of a tart cranberry with the sweetness of white chocolate.  They are a perfect complement to each other.  However if you don’t like cranberries or you don’t have any, dried cherries would be wonderful in this recipe too!!  The picture below is funny looking to me.  The cranberry really pops out and it looks like an eye watching you!  You just watch me eat him!

These cookies are really an indulgent and for a special treat or for gift giving.  I know they are not low in calories but honestly they are so good they are worth it!  At least in my book!  I promise my next cookie recipe will be lower in calories and a little bit on the healthier side!  But like I said, I couldn’t resist making them or sharing them with you because I really love them!

Tonight we are having our annual Christmas party at work and I can guarantee tomorrow will be eat extremely healthy day, plus lots of exercise!  One thing I know about the boss’s party is that the food is amazing and besides appetizers and wine, my boss’s wife makes a 5 course meal and it would be so rude not to eat it all!!  This Friday I will be on the clean plate club!

Have a great weekend!

Toodles,

Jen

    You have to indulge a LITTLE over the holiday season and these lower sugar but still delicious cookies are the perfect compromise!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
