These cookies are good, very simple and easy to make. Only 3 ingredients. Very festive for holiday cookie trays or baskets. This recipe came from a Pillsbury Cookbook. I'm going to zest an orange and add to the dough next time I make these.

Number Of Ingredients 3

1-15.6 ounce(s) pkg. pillsbury cranberry quick bread and muffin mix

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • The dough for these cookies is very soft, so it's important to chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to keep their shape in the oven.
