What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

  1. Avoid overmixing the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies.
  2. Make sure to chop the cranberries into small pieces to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  3. Do not overbake the cookies, as they will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet once removed from the oven.
  4. Be careful not to burn the edges of the cookies, as they can become too crispy if left in the oven for too long.
  5. Make sure to properly cool the cookies on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy on the bottom.
