Tips for Making Oatmeal Cranberry Drops
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. - Be sure to measure the oats correctly; too many oats will make the drops dry and crumbly. - Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking; this will help the drops hold their shape. - Bake the drops until they are just set; overbaking will make them dry and hard. - Let the drops cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.Conclusion
