    Chocolate dipped cranberry cookies

    Karen Ebert from DAYVILLE, CT

    So delicious even to those of us that dislike cranberries. A wonderful blend of flavors and easy to make.

    extreamly yummy

    Rainie Rizzo from Zionsville, IN

    I made these for my boss for Christmas this week. I used dry whole cranberries in place of the fresh or frozen ones. The dough was a little bit more on the dry side but worked just fine. I also used dark Nestle chocolate for the dipping. They turned out really well and where extreamly yummy. Her hubby ate them all before she had a chance to eat more than a few and even asked if I could make some more. They were a very big hit.

    Choolate Dipped Cranberry Cookies

    Alice Keeney from STRONGSVILLE, OH

    I didn't get around to trying these until January, but omitted the chocolate since we had consumed so much of it during the holidays. The cookies are moist and tasty on their own and I plan to add them to my holiday baking next year, as is. They will be a refreshing treat from the usual holiday standard.

    Jeanne Rice from CAZENOVIA, WI

    Added these cookies to my Christmas cookies this year, they were very good and easy to make. They freeze beautifully and can't wait to get the reviews from my family

    Very colorful!

    Marilyn from Canada

    These cookies are easy to make and very festive looking. I had to double my baking time, and I think this is because I used frozen cranberries. I do not like the ways these cookies smell (like playdough), but they taste pretty good. I also enjoyed these moist cookies more without the chocolate.
