These shortcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

The shortcakes were a little dry, but the coconut cranberry topping was delicious. I think I would try adding some more butter to the shortcake batter next time.

I love how easy these shortcakes are to make. I was able to whip them up in no time, and they turned out perfectly. The recipe is also very versatile - I used fresh cranberries, but I bet it would be just as good with frozen or dried cranberries.
