  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with nonstick baking mats.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, orange zest and orange juice.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Add dry mixture to wet mixture and mix until incorporated. Mix in cranberries and white chocolate chips.

  6. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over cookies before serving.
