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 Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.
🌷
Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?
