I used fresh cranberries instead of dried cranberries and they turned out just as well.

I didn't have any browned butter on hand, so I used regular butter instead. The cookies still turned out great.

I found that the cookies spread out too much in the oven. I think I'll try chilling the dough before baking next time.
