Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the dairy free butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and orange zest.
Add the all purpose gluten free flour, the sorghum flour, and the dairy free milk to the butter mixture and cream again until mixed thoroughly.
Add the white chocolate chips and craisins to the cookie dough and mix again until evenly distributed. The dough should be thick and able to be rolled into balls.
Scoop cookie dough out with a silverware teaspoon (or measuring tablespoon) and drop on the cookie sheet by spoonfuls about 2 inches apart. You can flatten the dough slightly.
If you'd like more uniform cookies, roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls then flatten slightly on the cookie sheet.
Bake 10-11 minutes for soft cookies, or 12-13 minutes for crispier cookies.
Allow to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days (if they last that long!) or freeze them. These store well in the freezer.
Notes
*We don't recommend using Earth Balance butter in these cookies, it tends to be much softer and more liquid at room temperature and these cookies tend to spread too much when using Earth Balance. **Gluten free baking mix already has baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, and baking powder in it already. If you are using a gluten free all purpose flour that has xanthan gum in it but doesn't have baking soda, salt, etc. you can add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt to this recipe.
