Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that complements the sweet cookie dough perfectly. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough: Overmixing the cookie dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cookie dough before baking: Chilling the cookie dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Don't overbake the cookies, or they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These Welsh Cranberry Skillet Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy dessert or a festive treat for a holiday party, these cookies are sure to hit the spot.
