Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together in your stand mixer (or large mixing bowl) for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs and beat for an additional 1 minute. Add the vanilla and milk and mix just until combined.

4. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.

5. Fold in the craisins and white chocolate chips.

6. Spray your cookie sheets with cooking spray. Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place them on the sheets. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the top of the cookies crack. Remove from the oven and allow them to finish baking on the sheets for a couple more minutes. Make sure you don't over bake. They are best when they are nice and chewy.

7. Remove the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool.

8. To make the Orange Glaze, place the white chocolate in a glass measuring cup and melt it in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each one. (It should only take a couple). Beat the melted white chocolate with the powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla and dash of salt. Mix until nice and smooth.

9. Pour the glaze into a ziploc bag and cut a small snip out of one corner. Pipe the frosting onto the cookies.
