Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate of your choice and then in nuts ,colored sugars or coconut. Place on wax paper to dry completely.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and hold their shape better than frozen cranberries.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them until the edges are just starting to brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
- Use a good quality chocolate for dipping. A good quality chocolate will have a smooth, rich flavor and will set up nicely.
- Be patient when dipping the cookies in chocolate. It takes a little time to get the hang of it. Don't worry if the first few cookies don't look perfect.
