Cranberry Orange Chocolate Pistachio Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a large bowl add butter and sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about two minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between. Add the vanilla and orange extracts and mix until combined.

Slowly add the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix until just combined.

Fold in dried cranberries, chocolate chips and pistachios. You need some strength for mixing, but mix until fully combined.

Scoop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 – 11 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden brown on the bottom. Remove pans from oven and set on a rack. Let the cookies cool for two minutes on the pan then place on a cookie rack to completely cool.
