Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the oats and spices. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough 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 the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. If you serve them too soon, they may be too soft and crumbly.
Conclusion:
These cranberry and oatmeal spice cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holidays. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their tart and tangy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next holiday party.
