How to Make Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Combine 1 cup cranberries and 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau). Soak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and the zest of 1 large orange.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup white chocolate chips, and the cranberries with their soaking liquid.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
