Tips and Tricks for Making This Quick & Easy Cranberry Chip Cookies Recipe:

I like to scoop my cookie dough and freeze them for about 15 minutes before baking. This allows the butter to chill up that way when they bake, they don’t spread as much and you’re left with a thicker chewier cookie.
Do you have fresh cranberries at home? Go ahead and use them instead of buying dried cranberries. Just make sure to add 1/4 cup more of fresh cranberries to the measurement specified in the recipe 🙂
