Tips:

Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
Make sure to zest the lime before juicing it. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the macaroons.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough.
Bake the macaroons until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
Let the macaroons cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape.
