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

Oatmeal cranberry drops are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized with different add-ins, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit. These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
