Feature: Cranberry Sugar Cookies – Just 3 Ingredients!

Cranberry Sugar Cookies are a variation of the traditional sugar cookie recipe (made with butter, flour, and sugar), yet this version differs in three ways.
  1. Cookie base. This recipe’s base is a quick bread or muffin mix rather than measured ingredients from scratch. By using a mix, you save time and mess.
  2. Cookie flavor. The added cranberry tang offers a surprising twist to the traditional rich, buttery flavor associated with most sugar cookie recipes.
  3. Cookie shape.Typically, sugar cookie dough is rolled out on the work surface and then cut into shapes using cookie cutters. This recipe calls for cookie dough to be rolled into small balls and pressed down, producing round cookies.
Simplicity and flavor make this recipe a fun, easy way to enjoy sugar cookies.

Prep time: 5-20 minutes
Bake time: 7-10 minutes
Makes 3-4 dozen cookies
