I started making these treats after tasting a batch my friend whipped up. I immediately requested the drop cookie recipe and have been baking them by the dozens ever since. The icing is an ideal complement to the tart berries in the cookies. -Shirley Kidd, New London, Minnesota

Tips:

- Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using. - Be sure to chop the cranberries finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the cookies. - Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape. - Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. - Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting. - If you don't have time to make the frosting, you can simply sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

These frosted cranberry drop 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. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try!
