Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries add a tart and flavorful burst to these cookies. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and still a little soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. If you serve them warm, they will be more likely to crumble.

Conclusion:

These cranberry spritz cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Enjoy them as a simple snack, pair them with a cup of tea or coffee, or package them up and give them as gifts. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, these cookies are sure to be a hit!
