  • Use a food processor to chop the cranberries: This will help to evenly distribute the cranberry flavor throughout the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies to rise and set quickly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
