Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen cranberries, and they hold their shape better when baked.
  • Chop the cranberries coarsely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cookies and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Grate the ginger finely. This will help the ginger flavor evenly distribute throughout the cookies.
  • Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. Granulated sugar will help the cookies crisp up, while brown sugar will add a chewy texture and a richer flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These cranberry-ginger drop cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
