Which is best to shape the Cranberry Walnut Cookies, to just dollop, drop as the dough is soft or to roll, refrigerate and cut?Which would you prefer?
As you may have noticed from the video, that this Cranberries and walnut cookie dough are pretty much on the "softer" side.
My first baked (for Eid), I did the spoon thingy the dough to try to make it like a ball.
However, my Cranberries and walnut cookies didn't turn out pretty :( , no compromise on the taste and texture whatsoever.. its just NOT PRETTY!!!
And I hear a voice, echoing...
No I am not hallucinating over these cookies :( (that voice ~non other than my number 1 critique : hubby :P)

Definitely bake some for the holiday cookie tray! They look seriously yummy and addictive, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteThey are yummy Angie :)
DeleteYummy and easy! I love these. I actually just made cranberry ginger cookies over the weekend that were awesome. I'm actually not a huge fan of walnuts, do you think pecans would work just as well?
ReplyDeleteOh cranberry and ginger sounds awesome too :)
DeleteDefinitely you can use pecans, my sister’s original recipe uses cashews but a packet of cashews are so expensive hence walnuts :D
I think its tempting and it looks really good too. You just being humble! If you don't mind, I can polish off for you. haha....
