Cranberry Cookies

Overview

It has been a few years since I started baking. Looking back, from the time I was a novice to today, I may be the only one who understands the hard work that went into it. But the rewards are always far greater than the efforts. I am learning, making progress, sharing, and at the same time happy. Classic cranberry cookies, I don’t know how many bags of flour were used to make them, but the sour and sweet dried cranberries are its soul. In order to maximize the taste that my family and friends love, I have never given up looking for better cranberries. This one is the one I am most satisfied with, with bright red color and fresh and thick flesh. This recipe is what I have been using, and the cookie effect is very crispy. It is worth saving.
